ORU President Richard Roberts Resigns

Amid allegations of wrongful spending habits, Richard Roberts announced his resignation from Oral Roberts University effective Friday, November 23.
I have several friends who graduated from ORU, Layna, Natalie, Justin and Bobbie (sorry if I missed someone else!), and ORU has long had a close affiliation with New Hope’s fellowship, CMI.
In his letter of resignation, Richard Roberts said, “I love ORU with all my heart. I love the students, faculty, staff and administration and I want to see God’s best for all of them.”
Sad day, but I think it’s probably for the best, to move onward and not have doubt in the faculty and alumni’s minds. Our prayers are with the school and Board of Regents during this transition period.
Read a statement from George Pearsons, Chairman of the Board of Regents: ORU Statement.
