Public Relations Crisis at Oral Roberts University?
Some recently dismissed professors at Oral Roberts University have filed suit alleging financial improprieties at the school – mostly having to do with President Richard Roberts, his wife Lindsay, and their children. I’m an ORU graduate, and hate to see something like this at my alma mater, or with any nationally known non-profit organization. No matter what the outcome of the legal action may be, the PR damage will be serious. Non-profits are especially at risk because
of IRS issues related to income through fundraising, and how that income is used. That’s why it’s imperative that non-profits, educational institutions, churches, ministries, and humanitarian organizations of all kinds be especially careful about financial issues – particularly when it comes to the organization’s leadership. We’ll see how the lawsuit develops. You can read about the situation from various Tulsa media outlets, and I’ve attached the actual lawsuit that was posted on Tulsa’s KOTV Channel 6 website.
