Trustee gives $1 million to ORU scholarship fund

A trustee of Oral Roberts University and his wife have given a $1 million gift to the school’s scholarship fund that, when matched through a fundraising campaign, will whittle its debt from more than $50 million to around $2.5 million, school officials said Thursday.
The debt grew as the university struggled in 2007 amid lawsuits alleging financial and administrative scandal.
