Creflo Dollar resigned from the regents, and Benny Hinn is now a “regent emeritus” with no voting power.

The evangelist Creflo Dollar has resigned from the Oral Roberts University board of regents, and another evangelist, Benny Hinn, has lost his status as a voting mem ber of the board.

ORU’s spokesman Jeremy Burton confirmed Wednesday that Dollar had resigned and that Hinn had been named a “regent emeritus” without a vote on the board.

Both refused last week to respond to a Senate inquiry into lavish spending by evangelists.

A Tulsa District Court judge is scheduled to hear several motions in the lawsuit Tuesday.
