Apparently, Richard Roberts is having a great deal of trouble interpreting God and what God wants him to do concerning his ministries. He seems to have heard God telling him to this one out for a while though.
Roberts takes leave as ORU president amid lawsuit scandal
(CNN) -- Richard Roberts said he will step aside temporarily as president of Oral Roberts University as the school fights a wrongful termination lawsuit by three former professors who accuse Roberts and his wife of misconduct.
"Today, I have asked the Board of Regents of Oral Roberts University to grant me a temporary leave of absence until such time as these matters can be resolved," Roberts said in a written statement Wednesday. "I have prayed about it, and feel that it is in the best interest of my family and the university."
The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, was amended recently to accuse the school of giving a "convicted sexual deviant unrestricted access to students" and of shredding evidence three days after the suit was first filed. The suit contends that the professors lost their jobs after reporting information indicating that Roberts and his family lavishly spent school money for personal expenses.
Roberts has denied the allegations. (Posted 1:37 p.m.)
