A former Oral Roberts University professor who is suing the university has been plaintiff and defendant in at least half a dozen lawsuits and has been investigated in a stock scheme in Arkansas, records show.
Since 2000, Tim Brooker has filed at least four state and federal lawsuits against various officials in Arkansas and other states. Brooker also has been a defendant in at least two civil lawsuits during that time, records show.
All of the lawsuits were thrown out and none resulted in judgments, records show.
Brooker is one of three former professors suing Oral Roberts University, Richard Roberts and other defendants. The suit claims Brooker was forced to resign and his wife, Paulita, and Professor John Swails were wrongfully fired.
The suit claims the actions came after Tim Brooker and Swails gave the university’s regents a document containing various allegations involving Roberts and his wife. The suit also claims Roberts ordered Brooker and students in Brooker’s government class to work for Randi Miller’s campaign for mayor of Tulsa.
