SHAWNEE, Okla. -- St. Gregory's University announced Wednesday that the university will "suspend operations" after the semester is over following the denial of a loan application to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
“With great sadness, the Board of Directors of St. Gregory’s University voted today to suspend operations effective at the close of the fall semester 2017,” said Fr. Don Wolf, Chairman of the Board. “Our main concern at this moment is for our students, staff, and faculty who will be profoundly impacted by this decision. The University is working with several colleges to facilitate student transfers in an attempt to minimize disruption in our students’ lives. Please keep them in your prayers.”
St. Gregory's, a private liberal arts college established in 1875, is Oklahoma's only Catholic university. It is located 40 miles east of Oklahoma.
The university's Tulsa branch will also close, officials said.
