OU President David Boren says OU is 'standing on the edge of a cliff' financially, others look to President-designate James Gallogly to find funding - Anna Bauman, OU Daily

As OU President David Boren prepares to retire from his role at the head of OU, he leaves with one pressing concern left looming like a dark cloud over the university he has called home for over two decades: financial troubles. “I’m really concerned,” Boren said. “It's like standing on the edge of a cliff — we’re getting closer to the edge of the cliff every year, and we run out of tricks. How many times can you offer people voluntary early retirement? How many times can you keep doing things to save money … We stretch every dollar that we can, and we’re out of tricks. We’re out of magic tricks. It's like a cloud over the future of the university.” http://www.oudaily.com/news/ou-president-david-boren-says-ou-is-standing-on-the/article_cdfd9816-40f6-11e8-a15d-dfb7f2c0a800.html
