SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah athletic director Chris Hill will call it quits in June after a 31-year career overseeing the athletic arm of the university. On Monday, the university announced its search committee to find his replacement.
University President Ruth Watkins announced the 14-person committee Monday, which features several university employees and other individuals with an interest in the athletics program. The committee will work with Ventura Partners, a talent management firm, to assist in identifying viable candidates for the position and will expect to have its recommendations by the end of June.
“Our new athletic director will have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the future direction and vitality of our university,” Watkins said in a prepared statement.
