(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Harris Simmons, chairman of the Utah Board of Regents, presents the University of Utah presidential medallion to U. President Ruth Watkins during her inauguration ceremony at Kingsbury Hall on Friday, Sept. 21, 2018. Watkins announced in January that she will be leaving the U. near the end of the coming spring term and the national search for a new president has been announced. A bill in the Utah Legislature would make that process more secretive.
