Oral Roberts University president Richard Roberts has asked for a leave of absence while the schools resolves a lawsuit filed by three former professors who have charged Roberts and his wife of misconduct.
The three former ORU professors who filed the lawsuit last week contend that they were wrongfully terminated from their positions at the university after reporting information indicating that the Roberts lavishly misspent donors’ money for personal expenses and that Roberts jeopardized the university’s nonprofit status by becoming illegally involved in a local political campaign.
Roberts has denied the allegations, saying last week on “Larry King Live” that they were “preposterous and untrue.”
