The Oklahoman is reporting that the Jones Day Law Firm is investigating whether former OU President David Boren sexually harassed male aides.
The university previously confirmed to The Daily that the law firm had been conducting an investigation regarding misreporting of financial data to the university, but had not clarified the entire scope of their inquiry.

"The University of Oklahoma is paying one of the largest law firms in the world to investigate former President David Boren, sources have confirmed.
Investigators with the Jones Day law firm have asked whether Boren sexually harassed male aides, sources said.
Boren, a former Oklahoma governor and U.S. senator, retired last year after nearly 24 years in charge at OU. Through an attorney Wednesday, Boren, 77, denied any misconduct.
"This is not an objective search for the truth. It is a fishing expedition," attorney Bob Burke told The Oklahoman. "President Boren emphatically denies any inappropriate behavior or unlawful activity. He has been a dedicated public servant for more than 50 years and his life is an open book in Oklahoma."
