President of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa is taking a leave of absence. That is what the board of the university is calling it. In reality he can return only if the board approves and then only after an audit is completed. To quote Roberts, “I pray and believe that in God’s timing, and when the board feels that it is appropriate, I will be back at my post as president.”
He will continue to receive his salary as well as continue his role as CEO of Oral Roberts Ministries and appear on his television program. The move by Roberts and the board is the latest chapter in the scandal that has enveloped the university. A lawsuit is still pending as well as charges of sexual impropriety by Roberts wife with underage students.
