ORU SUIT GOES FORWARD

A Tulsa, Oklahoma judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit against Oral Roberts University. Two professors are suing for wrongful termination lawsuit after they uncovered alleged wrongdoing by Richard Roberts, the evangelical school's former president. They say he was using school funds to bankroll a lavish lifestyle. But the judge also tossed out some allegations made by the professors including libel claims and breach of contract claims. A gag order prevents both sides from discussing the case outside the courtroom.
