Boy, they kicked a hornets nest on this one. Other than Lee, which university administrators won't survive this? Don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before. You've done messed up A-Aron.

It sounds worse from this DesNews article: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...ible-move.html. Sounds like a major cluster that will not be resolved without blood. I will take Huntsman over Pershing and Lee every day of the week.
Huntsman promised "several" lawsuits against the university in the coming weeks, some of them related to handling of finances. He alleged that the university has not met its agreed-to financial obligations in the last few years to reimburse the Huntsman's efforts to expand and improve the Huntsman Institute Center campus.
The Huntsman Cancer Foundation's "sole purpose is to raise funds to support the mission of Huntsman Cancer Institute" and is responsible for funding one-third of the institute's budget, according to explanations given on a University of Utah Health Care web page. The Huntsman Foundation is an organization responsible for a wider range of philanthropic projects.
The Huntsman Cancer Institute itself is not owned or operated by the Huntsmans.
Huntsman said a deal was being negotiated in recent days that would result in $250 million being donated to Huntsman Cancer Institute by the Huntsman Foundation over the next eight years. But those negotiations are now on hold, he said. He said he is committed to making Huntsman Cancer Institute a world-renowned facility lasting until "well after I'm gone," but that he wants Lee fired.
"Our family has now either raised or contributed or through grants, we've put over $2.2 billion in this facility, and until V"Our family has now either raised or contributed or through grants, we've put over $2.2 billion in this facility, and until Vivian Lee is replaced and removed and fired — our family will continue to always, always help those with cancer — but we have other buildings on the drawing board, other plans for expansion and we're not going to slow down because of a bureaucrat," Huntsman said.
Huntsman also lamented what he said was a troubling relationship with the University of Utah overall.

Yeah, time to let go of Pershing and Lee. University presidents are easy to replace, and they are never well-liked for more than a few years. I'd drop him today.
