Oral Roberts University President Richard Roberts said he wants "complete financial transparency" at the university if he is allowed to return to his position.
In an interview with the Tulsa World on Friday, Roberts answered criticism by tenured faculty members and others that ORU withheld information about its finances. He also discussed his practice of reimbursing the ministry for personal expenses, a student center that was never built and the possible sale of the university's television station.
Roberts said in news articles in 1997 and 2001 that ORU's debt had been cut in half when in fact debt had increased during those years.
He said Friday: "In the early years of being president I think I got some funny information. We had to make some changes in personnel in those years."
ORU Scandal.
