Monday Massacre in Oklahoma? - Rick Seltzer, Inside Higher Ed

The University of Oklahoma’s new president waited out the weekend before shaking up the leadership team he inherited. Six top administrators were laid off or retired Monday, the first workday Jim Gallogly was on the job as president. The university also announced a reorganization cutting the number of administrators reporting directly to the president from 25 to 17. The changes were swift, even for a university that was clearly in line for a significant overhaul as it faces a multimillion-dollar budget gap while installing a new president for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/07/03/new-university-oklahoma-president-wastes-no-time-administrative-overhaul
