Oral Roberts Univ. settles lawsuit

Cameron Strang added to the board of trustees.

Christianity Today October 23, 2008

Oral Roberts University reached a settlement with two former professors who sued the university a year ago, alleging that they were wrongfully terminated, the Tulsa World reports.

The details of the settlement were confidential. The professors alleged that they were forced out after detailing financial and ethical wrongdoing by Richard Roberts, the school’s former president who resigned last year.

Christianity Today has followed the developments at ORU on the higher education section of CT, and CT also recently published a lengthy article detailing the school’s path to healing.

The university has gone through rapid changes in the past year, including new leadership. Mart Green, whose family founded Hobby Lobby and the Mardel Christian stores chain, was made chairman of the board of trustees. (Clarification) Cameron Strang, founder of Relevant magazine, told me earlier this month that he has also been added to the board of trustees at his alma mater.
