DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Report of the Committee of Inquiry on Conditions at the University of Utah On March 18, 1915, and within the five weeks following, seventeen members of the faculty of the University of Utah resigned their positions in protest against certain acts of the President of the University (Dr. J. T. Kingsbury) and of the Board of Regents. Sixteen of those who resigned concur in summarizing as follows the reasons for their action: The immediate cause of our resignations was the dismissal of certain of our colleagues and the demotion of others by a method so unfair and so arbitrary as to make it impossible to retain our self-respect and remain in the University. It is our firm belief that the changes made by the administration are but the expressions of a general policy of encroachment on our academic rights and duties by certain interests which are seriously threatening the efficiency of the University.
