I Wonder if God was gonna take him too if the School Closed up........

What a jerk now they will steal that money or should I say give themself a pay raise

[gunownerdan]

What a shame.
All that money could have really done some good in this world.

ORU is doing a great job of educating the next generation of greedy hypocrites and politicians. Oops - that''s an oxymoron. I''m on the same page with y''all who think that the $70 million bail-out could be used to help people who really need it. I think the state of Oklahoma should turn ORU into a public non-religious university, and then they would have to be accountable to Oklahoma citizens for spending every dollar. And can somebody tell me why a "debt-ridden evangelical university" has a private jet airplane in the first place? The warning signs have been there all along for everybody to see.

I think they should pass a law in congress that states that any Non-profit or tax exempt entity religious or not is required by law to be held accountable to the American people that Allow them to be tax exempt by forcing them to use standard accounting procedures and divulge all financial assets, incomes and outlays annually to the IRS and be made public at request of a freedom of information act.
Clearly showing salaries, and where funds are going, and how much is spent, tied up in assets, and property owned.
Lack of Accountability is one of the Top problems for human beings sinning right and left.
Anyone that has true moral values at heart, religious or not, should have no problem being transparent.
There shouldnt be a need for a Senator to run a separate and unusual investigation into Televangelists or for a website thats dedicated to rating the transparency and honesty of religious/charitable organizations.

I am Christian, and i can tell you that none of the characters in this story are living by Christianity''s teachings or the old testament either.

Its sad but it appears that in almost every single case in this country, various religious leaders have become completely and totally corrupted by money and power and have no interest in giving it up and try to justify their lifestyles. And in this guy''s case, he patently denies what he has been caught red-handed doing.
Non-profit.. yeah sure. The "entity" is non-profit, but the people that run it make UNGODLY salaries and live an UnChristian lifestyle.

As someone else said below, $70. could help feed dozens of homeless people. The local rescue mission here said with $16 they can efficiently use their resources to feed 22 people. Think how much good could be done with $70 million.

But, in this world, you have a rich businessman running a "Christian Supply chain" that is hanging on hundreds of millions and decides hes going to use it to bail out a corrupt Oral university and its affiliations while Oral''s #1 son is spending university cash like a drunken sailor gotten from piling on debt.
What Complete and Totaly Hippocrisy!
