(CNN) -- Richard Roberts said he will step aside temporarily as president of Oral Roberts University as the school fights a wrongful termination lawsuit by three former professors who accuse Roberts and his wife of misconduct.

"Today, I have asked the board of regents of Oral Roberts University to grant me a temporary leave of absence until such time as these matters can be resolved," Roberts said in a written statement Wednesday. "I have prayed about it, and feel that it is in the best interest of my family and the university."

The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, contends that the professors lost their jobs at the Tulsa, Oklahoma, university after reporting information indicating that Roberts and his family lavishly spent school money for personal expenses.

Roberts has denied the allegations. "I don't know how long this leave of absence will last, but I fully trust the members of the board of regents," his statement said. "They are great men and women who have a deep love for this university and for me and my family. I pray and believe that in God's timing, and when the board feels that it is appropriate, I will be back at my post as president."

leaves out the essential details on others? Strange God.

All the ugly buildings (which means all of them) need to be bulldozed, and the entire site turned into a park or something worthwhile. They don't put any money into the campus except the landscaping you see from the street. All the buildings have rust spots on them; at one point, the sidewalk section behind the "prayer tower" was taped off because it looks like the land had sunk, and the self-guided tour at the top of the prayer tower that explains what you're looking out at are bleached out from the sunlight. The whole thing is full of the ugliest architecture the late 60s and early 70s had to offer, and if we could get rid of that eyesore as well as the religious insanity behind it, Tulsa would be so much better off.
