Mike Minyard Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Pastor could direct ORU The nominee for president is called a "turnaround man." By SHANNON MUCHMORE World Staff Writer Published: 1/15/2009 2:34 AM Last Modified: 1/15/2009 2:43 AM A pastor and missionary who turned a small Christian college into a recognized liberal arts university was named Wednesday as the candidate for president of Oral Roberts University. The university's presidential search committee has suggested Mark Rutland, who is in his 10th year as president of Southeastern University in Florida, to take the top post at ORU, as reported Wednesday on tulsaworld.com Rutland said Wednesday he sees more opportunity than challenge for the university. "I believe that the first thing that needs to happen is, at the wider constituencies at Oral Roberts, trust has to be restored," he said. "The kind of balanced and thoughtful leadership has to happen there that can restore the goodwill of their constituencies and restore the confidence of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the world." (It might be a good idea to comment on this story. Some people are so negative about ORU.)
