More housecleaning at Oral Roberts U.

Creflo Dollar out, Benny Hinn disempowered on board of regents.

Christianity Today December 18, 2007

The wrongful termination suit between three ORU professors and college administrators is going to arbitration, but meanwhile there has been a shakeup of sorts on the school’s board of regents.

“The evangelist Creflo Dollar has resigned from the Oral Roberts University board of regents, and another evangelist, Benny Hinn, has lost his status as a voting member of the board,” the Tulsa World reported.

The newspaper notes that the move comes as Dollar and Hinn balked at requests for financial information from Sen. Charles Grassley, but the school had no comment on the reason for the changes. Are Dollar and Hinn distancing themselves from ORU, or is ORU distancing itself from them?
