As an OU alum it is unacceptable to me to have Regent Humphreys continue. He is a bona fide anti-LGBTQ bigot. There should be no room foe that point of view on the Board of Regents.

Regent Humphreys' comments do not represent the OU I know and love. He must not be allowed to hold a position of leadership at our university.

I think his comments on Flash Point were so wrong. Comparing Gays & Pedophiles as the same is so untrue. Pedophiles prey on children!

His comments are unacceptable if he wants to represent all Sooners.

As a graduate student I could have been dismissed for hate speech. I fill our regents should be held to the same standard.

As an OU LGBTQ Ally, an OU alum, an OU employee, and an OU grad student, I strongly support this petition!! Kirk Humphreys is a disgrace to not only the university and its ideals, but as a human in general as well. This is a no brainer. He MUST resign.

It is beyond worrisome that someone so out of touch with our students' needs should hold this much power. Many Sooners today are hurting because of these intentionally divisive comments. If not corrected, I fear more misplaced judgments will come.

As an LGBT+ alum of the University of Oklahoma, I am angry, I am upset, and I'm asking Mr. Humphreys to resign immediately from the OU Board of Regents. I'm the current chair of the Board of Visitors for the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Gallogly College of Engineering. I earned my BS in 2004, and my MS in 2005. I chose to attend OU because I was welcomed to the campus. I stay involved via the Board of Visitors because I want to be a force multiplier for innovation that matters, and role model for the next generation of engineers and students.
Kirk Humphreys' comments are damaging to the spirit of building a diverse, inclusive, welcoming community at the university.

He is not fit to serve as a leader of a tier one, public research institution. The people have spoken. We do not tolerate ignorance and hateful ideas. We do not tolerate homophobia. We strive for love, respect, diversity and inclusion.

People like Humphreys who say such things are who sent me into deep depression in college. This man makes decisions affecting the lives of many LGBT students. Please do what’s right and if he will not resign he should be replaced.

Mr. Humphrey’s comments were extremely hurtful and offensive to me and he should resign or be removed from OU Board of Regents immediately. This is degrading to the University of Oklahoma and students, alumni, faculty and friends who love and support this University.

I stand with OU's LGBTQ family and against the ideology of Kirk Humphrey. As a student, staff member, and LGBTQ Ally; he does NOT speak for me or this campus.

Our alma mater should be a refuge for diversity, inclusion and freedom. Humphreys' comment contradict all our the Sooner values and he deserves no part in our community.
