The University of Utah announced Friday that CEO of University of Utah Health and Dean of the U’s School of Medicine Vivian Lee has resigned.
“On behalf of the entire leadership at the University of Utah, I want to express my gratitude for Dr. Lee’s extraordinary achievements and the courage and commitment she has shown over the past six years,” said U President David Pershing in a statement.
Pershing said that Lee will remain at the U as a tenured professor of radiology.
The decision comes after the U’s reinstatement of Mary Beckerle as CEO of Huntsman Cancer Institute.
