The Chronicle: 3 Former Professors Sue Oral Roberts U., Alleging Political and Ethical Misconduct at High Levels

Three former professors at Oral Roberts University have sued the evangelical institution in Tulsa, Okla., filing a petition on Tuesday in state court that accuses the university’s president, Richard L. Roberts, of using university resources to back a local mayoral candidate and to bankroll an extravagant lifestyle for his family.

The lawsuit also says that university administrators tried to cover up the president’s involvement in the mayoral campaign when the Internal Revenue Service began investigating the nonprofit institution’s interventions into local politics.
