ORU names new president today
As an ORU student I received the following email today:
"Dr. Mark Rutland Announced as President-Elect of ORU
Board Chair Mart Green and the Oral Roberts University Board of Trustees announced today the election of Dr. Mark Rutland as the next president of ORU.
This election is the result of a nine-month search process completed with the help of Bruce Dingman of Dingman Company, Inc., an executive search and selection firm, and a presidential search committee made up of representatives from the ORU Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, alumni and students.
A presidential opportunity profile was drafted in April 2008 with input from ORU faculty, staff, students and alumni. More than 130 names of presidential prospects were submitted for consideration. The presidential search committee followed the leading of the Holy Spirit throughout the process and met in early January to interview Dr. Rutland and recommend him to the ORU Board of Trustees.
Dr. Rutland comes to ORU from Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida where he served as president of the school and of Global Servants, a missions and evangelism organization founded in 1977. Dr. Rutland is credited with engineering a turnaround at Southeastern after he became president in 1999. The campus has undergone more than $50 million in renovations and construction and enrollment has increased from less than 1,000 to more than 3,000 in September 2008.
A native of Texas, Dr. Rutland was educated at the University of Maryland and Candler School of Theology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and holds a Ph.D. from California Graduate School of Theology. He is the author of 13 books and his 30-minute daily radio program, Herald of Joy, is heard in multiple markets. Dr. Rutland and his wife, Alison, have one son, two daughters, three grandsons, and two granddaughters.
In announcing the election of Dr. Rutland, Green said, “We are excited about the future under the leadership of Dr. Rutland. He has been selected through a careful process and we are confident that he will continue to uphold the mission and vision of Oral Roberts University.”
Dr. Rutland will assume the presidency in July 2009.
The ORU Board of Trustees, installed last January, has made monumental progress in the past 12 months. Through the board-initiated Renewing the Vision campaign, ORU has raised approximately $12 million and whittled the university’s debt down to just over $13 million through the gifts of almost 12,000 generous donors. This past summer, ORU underwent $10.4 million in campus-wide renovations all over campus. Both these efforts further the mission of ORU and strengthen its position as a leading institution of Christian higher education."
Great days ahead for ORU!! Dr. Rutland is also a minister with the Assembly of God organizaton.

I have seen so many lies posted. The best one is the one Triumphant 1 did his best to combat. You know, the hair cutting party thing?
Prominent members of this board chose to believe the lie and even continue to spread it, even though T1 had totally proved it was false.

Re: ORU names new president today
This guy isn't an ORU grad? Is he spirit filled/pentecostal/charismatic?
Not that it matters to me in the least, but I would think that it mattered to them. IMO.

He is a Spirit filled Assembly of God Pentecostal pastor/evangelist/missionary/and most recently president of an Aof G university in Florida. Having pentecostal roots would be a plus in this situation seeing that Mart Green--multi millionaire bail-er outer and chairman of the board--is Assembly of God and Oral Roberts is pentecostal/charismatic.
It was said on the news tonight here in Tulsa that he was not on the original list of 130 candidates but that ORAL ROBERTS himself put Dr. Rutland's name on the table for consideration. It would now appear that this man was Oral Roberts personal suggestion and pick.

Yes...he is 91 and lives in California most of the time. He is the only lifetime member of the ORU Board. Dr. Rutland and Mart Green flew to California last week to meet with Oral Roberts I am told.

Wow, I remember hearing him preach when I was a little girl. (Before TV). I loved his testimony.

Amen!
It is something too that it would appear Oral Roberts hand picked this man! That says a lot to those who thought Mart Green would dictate everything because of his money!
Dr. Rutland has quite a resume' concerning turning things around financially. Not only did that university in Florida prosper under him--before that, he took a church with something like $30 million debt and it was paid off before he left to go to the university...
And to note that the ORU debt has been reduced to $13 million--when 1 year ago it was Like $60 million--is awesome! This reduction in debt has taken place while major renovations have as well! The campus and the Citi-Plex (the former hospital) have both been improved drastically!
