The president of Oral Roberts University has now received a vote of no confidence from the university's tenured faculty.

The resolution says the faculty approved the motion without regard to the outcome of the current lawsuit against Tulsaâ€™s Oral Roberts University.

Professors plan to distribute the document to ORUâ€™s Board of Regents.

Three former professors have filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against Richard Roberts and the university, alleging their departures stem from their refusal to use staff and students to work on a Tulsa mayoral candidate's campaign.

They also accuse Richard Roberts of misspending funds to support a lavish lifestyle.

A spokesman for Oral Roberts University hasn't commented on Monday's vote.
