Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has appointed former Gov. Frank Keating to the OU Board of Regents.

Keating will succeed A. Max Weitzenhoffer and will serve a seven-year term.

OU President David Boren, also a former Oklahoma governor, praised Keating's appointment in a statement.

"As governor, Frank Keating appointed some of the most outstanding individuals who have ever served on the OU Board of Regents," Boren said in the statement. "They were Regents who always put the needs of the institution first and worked to help the university achieve the highest standards of academic excellence. I have every reason to believe Frank Keating would bring those same qualities to his own service on the board."

Fallin said in a press release that Keating is the "right person at the right time now to help lead OU."

"Frank Keating has a long and distinguished service with the state and federal governments," Fallin said in the release. "I’m so pleased he has agreed to again serve the state of Oklahoma in this important capacity. Governor Keating is known as an effective governor, and a strong and compassionate leader."

Keating received a law degree from OU and served as governor from 1995 to 2003. His appointment to the OU Board of Regents still needs confirmation from the Oklahoma Senate before it is official.
