Suit Against Oral Roberts University Settled

Today's Tulsa (OK) World reports that a lawsuit against Oral Roberts University by two former faculty members was settled this week. The lawsuit against the Christian university had alleged that the plaintiffs were wrongfully dismissed as faculty after they reported the University's use of resources in a candidate's political race for mayor in Tulsa and improper use of university funds by then-president Richard Roberts for home remodeling and for travel and other lifestyle extravagances for his wife and daughter. (See prior posting.) The terms of the settlement, reached in court-ordered mediation, are confidential.
