Utah university presidents accused of misconduct can no longer collect salary after resigning

The policy change comes after the resignation of former Utah Tech University President Richard “Biff” Williams, who was under investigation for alleged sexual harassment and misconduct when he left.

(Chris Samuels | The Salt Lake Tribune) Signage at Utah Tech University in St. George, Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024. When former President Richard "Biff" Williams resigned from the school, he was able to collect six months of "transition" pay — even though he was under investigation. The Utah Board of Higher Education has updated its policy to no longer allow that.
