Oral Roberts University hires law firm for probe

Oral Roberts University has hired the Washington, D.C., law firm of Miller & Chevalier Chartered to investigate allegations of misspent money and more made in a lawsuit that three former professors filed Oct. 2 against ORU, its board of regents and four administrators.

The Arlington, Texas, accounting firm Pickens, Snodgrass, Koch & Co., P.C. will support the law firm in the investigation, according to a written statement from ORU.

The review will result in a report to ORU regents, “who will take appropriate action,” the statement said.

ORU regents Chairman George Pearsons said this week that the board looked for a law firm that was high-profile, out-of-state and had not worked for ORU.

Pearsons said last week that ORU President Richard Roberts’ leave of absence during the investigation would help assure the public of the independence of the review.
