Now that's a waste of $70 million.

It looks like to me that Richard Roberts is truly his father's son, Tulsa's own "Elmer Gantry."  He takes a situation that fingers him as a swindler and tax cheat, and turns it to him being a martyr and saviour of the University, because "God" told him to resign and then "God" would bestow a spiritual windfall on ORU (re: Hobby Lobby's $70 million.)  Of course, Robert's statements were made AFTER the potential $70 million gift was already known to the university.

I feel sorry for the current students of ORU, but in the long run I think it will be for the best.  I don't question the quality of education that ORU provides, but to distance the University from the money-grabing "ministry" is the best thing that could happen to ORU.

Some advertising or PR firm should hire Richard Roberts.  He sure knows how to lay on the spin.  I find it very sad that so many of the current ORU students still seem to support the huckster Roberts family.
