Summary
Oakland City University in Oakland City, Ind., has experienced major financial turmoil leading to payroll delays and workforce reductions. According to the report, the university subsequently laid off more than 100 employees after missed paychecks and a WARN notice in April; former employees have received owed back wages but are still awaiting payouts for accrued vacation time. University officials said remaining payroll for some 12-month faculty will be completed over coming weeks and that vacation pay will be addressed afterward. The financial distress also prompted the university to voluntarily resign accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission (effective June 30, 2027) and suspend all undergraduate programs for the 2026–27 academic year, with the fall semester opening with just 61 students enrolled.
