Vote in a poll: Should Richard Roberts return as the president of ORU?
Oral Roberts University's executive vice president of academic affairs and provost offered his resignation to the board of regents on Thursday if the board decides to keep Richard Roberts as president.
Mark Lewandowski wrote regents Chairman George Pearsons that he "would be pleased to continue to serve" in his job if Roberts resigns or is not reinstated, according to his letter first obtained by The Associated Press.
Roberts has been on a leave of absence as ORU president since Oct. 17 while the board and independent auditors investigate allegations made in a lawsuit that he and his family misused ORU and Oral Roberts Ministries money and resources.

Watkins said some motivated sellers will even pay the closing costs and down payment on FHA-approved loans. She said a buyer can lock in close to a conventional 5.5 percent FHA-approved loan or a 5.75 percent non-FHA loan, and rates are still falling, in anticipation of another Fed rate cut later this month. But Watkins, like Welsh, cautions buyers to deal only with experienced and honest professionals. Three years ago, I quoted Watkins — who has been a loan officer for 17 years — warning buyers against exotic "teaser" loans that were destined to soar in two or three years.
