TULSA - Donald Trump's visit to Tulsa is stirring up some controversy. An online petition has been started asking Oral Roberts University to prohibit the Republican candidate from speaking on campus next week. 

The petition has already received 570 signatures as of Saturday morning. Here's what the petition says: 

"This is a petition signed on behalf of the following Oral Roberts University student and faculty body to not allow Presidential Candidate Donald Trump from coming to ORU. We would like to make it clear that this petition is not due to political bias, but rather we feel offended by comments that Mr. Trump has made in the past. This is our home, an extremely diverse student body and we would like to keep it as unprejudice as possible."
