Cost of two investigations at OU tops $1 million

NORMAN — The expense of investigating retired OU President David Boren and the misreporting of information to U.S. News & World Report has skyrocketed.

The University of Oklahoma now has paid the Jones Day law firm more than $1,030,000 for the two completed investigations, records show.

The latest payment to the law firm — $376,558 — was made Tuesday, the records show.

OU hired Jones Day last year to investigate the misreporting of information to U.S. News & World Report for its annual ranking of universities. OU in November asked the law firm to conduct a sexual misconduct investigation of Boren.
