He was fired.

Forced resignation, but yeah.

Here is the story on his departure from LSU:

O'Keefe steps aside as LSU chancellor | NOLA.com

O'Keefe was hired to basically be a fundraiser for LSU, and to my knowledge he did that. The faculty never wanted him there, supposedly because he didn't have a Ph.D. Once the Board of Supervisors hired Lombardi his political support evaporated and the writing was on the wall.

Hope this is true!!!

prayers this is true.

He did, but that was only about a quarter of his job description. Coming after Emmert didn't help. Emmert hit it out of the park and O'Keefe fanned.

Wow, RIP to the 4-5 who didn't make it. Glad to hear O'Keefe made it out alive but jesus christ.

Here is another site reporting that O'Keefe and his son survived:

I was talking to a friend about it this morning. He said that to be Director of NASA you have to be able to survive a plane crash. I guess he was right. Glad to hear it. I liked Space Chancellor O'Keefe.
