Tulsa World: ORU money funneled, suit claims

More than $1 billion annually was funneled through ORU, a former accountant claims.

A former Oral Roberts University accountant revised his lawsuit Thursday to allege that more than $1 billion annually was funneled through the university, possibly to regents.

“It appears that many of the former board members were actual participants in the funneling of money through the university for their own eventual personal use, and thus, the foxes were watching the hen house,” says former accountant Trent Huddleston’s lawsuit.

The money “was not used for any legitimate purpose” that Huddleston
knew, his lawsuit says.
