Jeremy Burton, a spokesman for ORU, confirmed that ORU was first contacted by the IRS in a letter May 3, 2006.
The letter stated that the IRS was investigating ''whether we participated in political programs inappropriately for a 501(c)(3) organization,'' Burton said in an e-mail to the Tulsa World.
ORU answered the IRS' questions and received a follow-up letter with additional questions on July 25, Burton's e-mail states. The university responded to those questions as well, he said.
ORU Scandal.
The IRS warned ORU about the way the university handled its political programs, and evidently that warning was ignored.
