The Huntsman family announced Wednesday that it will commit $12 million toward new professorships in honor of late patriarch Jon M. Huntsman Sr. at the Utah State University business school named after him.
The contribution is part of more than $56 million that the Huntsmans have donated to the school since 2007. And it is their first major project there since they said goodbye to Huntsman Sr. in February 2018.
“These professorships are a realization of a priority articulated by my father more than a decade ago,” said his son, David Huntsman, a USU trustee and president of the family’s charitable arm.
