Only one day after SaveORU.com launched, Richard Roberts announced that he is asking the Board of Regents to grant him leave of absence. In our first post, we predicted a surprise announcement after the university’s fall break (the announcement came earlier than we expected).

– Richard Roberts • President, Oral Roberts University
