We strive to attract the most talented educators in the nation to teach our students. Due to OU’s increased private support during the past 10 years, the number of endowed faculty positions has more than tripled, increasing from 100 to more than 370. We also have a faculty-in-residence program with faculty members and their families living in apartments in the student residence halls. Even the president of OU, David Boren, a former U.S. senator and governor of Oklahoma, teaches an introductory course in political science each semester, and keeps in close touch with students.
