In an effort to “strengthen leadership and oversight,” Utah State University announced Thursday a new executive director position and changes to the reporting structure within the school’s public safety department.
The announcement follows last month’s resignation of Earl Morris as USU police chief amid criticism for reported comments to the Aggie football team on the subject of sexual assault.
