NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — University of Oklahoma President David Boren says there are no plans for tuition increases, layoffs or unpaid furlough days are planned despite budget cuts.
Boren said Wednesday that he anticipated budget cuts and built reserves into the current budget and OU will be able to absorb the state ordered 5 percent cuts. Boren says federal stimulus funds also are helping OU meet its expenses.
Boren says he can foresee a tuition increase next school year of below 10 percent — likely in the low- to mid-single digit percentages.
