Inside Higher Ed: Layoffs at ORU

Oral Roberts University is planning to eliminate the jobs of about 100 people over the course of the academic year. While many colleges are facing tough times because of the economy, Oral Roberts has the additional burden of recovering from a scandal that led to the departure of its previous president. The university has pledged that no one will lose a job until at least March.
