  • JEFFREY BIRDSONG Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College
    THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD: NEW LEADERSHIP IN THE POLITICAL CULTURE OF OKLAHOMA JEFFREY BIRDSONG Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College The Oklahoma political culture is set for a new era. Several political and demographic factors explain why the change is occurring, such as term limits, growing suburbanization, and increased newcomers in some rural legislative districts. As term limits decreases the importance ofseniority, the power structure in the legislature may be determined by the sheer number of representatives each area brings to the capitol. The effect of term limits and population shifts will cause the energies of the legislature to be focused more on the issues of concern for urban and suburban Oklahomans, often at the expense of their rural counterparts. These factors will affect primarily rural legislators, which, from statehood to the present, have disproportionately influenced Oklahoma politics. Rural roots in Oklahoma's political culture run deep. Agrarian ideals are reflected in the state's constitution, as economic regulations were initiated with the intent to preserve the family farm (Morgan and Morgan 1977). Such rural-centered beliefs created a prairie populism that prefers "decentralization and dispersion rather than concentration" (Holloway and Meyers 1992, p. 27). This political culture has been a device that the state's rural legislators have helped create and have 2 OKLAHOMA POLITICS I NOVEMBER 2002 used to their benefit. However, Oklahoma's political culture is changing because the political culture represented in the state legislature is changing. This paper describes how and why this change is occurring and what impact such change will mean to the Sooner state.

President Vice President for Research & Director of Sponsored Programs Associate Director of Compliance Dean of the Graduate School Message from VP, Research & Dean of Graduate School Tuskegee University recognizes the importance of external support of research and sponsored programs and the impact these vital programs have on the development of its students, faculty and society in general. Tuskegee University has a long-standing reputation of being among the nation’s premiere minority research institutions committed to the total development of its students and faculty. In this annual report, it is evident that through our centers of excellence, academic colleges, schools, and other institutional units, our faculty, staff and students are engaged in research that is critical to addressing the global needs of today’s citizens, industries and governments. Since 1996, the Division of Research and Sponsored Programs has more than doubled its annual funding for research and other sponsored programs. The university concluded 2018-2019 with a total annual funding of $37.2 million, which represents an increase of 7.5% over the last year. Credit for this enormous success goes to our faculty members and staff who continue to search for resources and write winning proposals. Staff members in the Division of Research and Sponsored Programs and various departments of the university’s Business and Fiscal Affairs division are also to be commended for their enthusiastic support of the researchers in the grantsmanship process.
