Statement from Olivet University Regarding Recent News Coverage

NEW YORK, Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ronn Torossian, spokesperson for Olivet University, said, "Recent media reports which link Olivet University to government probes, and or Newsweek/IBT Media, are inaccurate.  There are no shared ownership interests.

The only financial ties between the school and Newsweek/IBT Media has been payment for a licensing and R&D arrangement. 

While there are executives in New York City and elsewhere who are evangelical Christians and support our mission personally, we have multiple supporters who work in many industries.  We remain grateful for their support and pray for their continued safety and success.

Olivet University is a warm and friendly place to pursue a serious Christian education. The University views academic work as in the service of the church."
