ORU RESIGNATIONS

Benny Hinn and I.V. Hilliard have resigned from the board of Oral Roberts University. The university has also settled with John Swails, one of the three professors who have filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the school. The suit sparked a spending scandal involving its former president, Oral Robert’s son, Richard Roberts. There’s no word on why they quit. Televangelists Jesse Duplantis and Creflo Dollar resigned from it last month. Both Hinn and Dollar are being investigated by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley. He questions whether th`ey and four other ministers are violated their organizations' tax-exempt status by their extravagant lifestyle. Both deny doing anything wrong.
