Summary
Oakland City University, facing financial troubles, announced earlier in the spring that it would lay off more than 100 employees and filed a WARN notice stating it would lay off 167 employees beginning June 1, 2026. The university characterized the WARN filing as a precaution, and a May 19 release said layoffs would be effective May 31 but did not specify a number then. Separately, the university has delayed paychecks for many employees, prompting at least two lawsuits by staff claiming unpaid wages. The school also suspended undergraduate programs for the 2026-2027 year while keeping graduate programs, and university officials have said they are preparing to resume undergraduate offerings in 2027-2028.
