As much bad news as we've carried about Oral Roberts university
in the last couple of months, it only seems fair to report that ORU got some good news this week.
USA Today is reporting that a businessman in Oklahoma has pledged $70 million dollars to the university. Mart Green, the owner of a business and office supply chain called Mardel that caters specifically to Christians, said Tuesday he would give the university $8 million immediately and hand over the remaining $62 million in 60 to 90 days - after a review of the university's financial records is complete.
Green is asking for two seats on the school's Board of Regents to be filled by members of his family.
