It’s a new beginning for Oral Roberts University.
Monday, the school’s board of regents accepted a donation of $62 million from businessman Mart Green and his family, and agreed in principle to make sweeping changes in how the Tulsa university is run.
“We are humbled and thankful for the board’s trust in this plan and their faith in us,” Green said in a statement.
A new era for Oral Roberts University

At Oral Roberts University last week, two more regents resigned, a whistle-blowing professor was reinstated and a judge issued a rare gag order in a civil lawsuit.
That was just preamble for this week and what could be one of the most important regents meetings in the Tulsa school’s history.
Beginning tomorrow, regents will evaluate “strategic opportunities,” the university says in a release. Former president Richard Roberts, son of the university’s namesake, resigned last year following allegations of mismanagement.
