O'Keefe wins LSU job
Posted: Fri, Dec 17, 2004, 9:00 AM ET (1400 GMT)
Louisiana State University (LSU) has selected outgoing NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe to be the school's next chancellor. The LSU Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the nomination of O'Keefe to run the university Thursday night after a search committee recommended him earlier in the day. O'Keefe, who announced his resignation from NASA on Monday two days after work leaked out that he was under consideration for the LSU job, will start work there in February, assuming his replacement at the space agency has been selected and confirmed by then. O'Keefe and the Board of Supervisors will first negotiate his salary, which is expected to be "in the neighborhood" of, but not as high as, the $500,000 his predecessor received. According to one news report, O'Keefe had been in informal discussions with William Jenkins, president of the state university system, about the job for five months.
