Oral Roberts University tries to regroup

Oral Roberts University, reeling from debt and allegations of misspending, announced yesterday that it is separating from the ministries headed by Richard Roberts, who has resigned from the college presidency.
“By unanimous decision of the board, it was decided that the university will take every step necessary to separate ORU and the Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association as a legal, financial, accounting and governance matter,” said George Pearsons, the regents’ chairman.
“However, the spiritual connection between the two organizations will remain.”
Unless significant board changes occur, however, the connections between the university and the ministries will go far beyond the spiritual realm.
