SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 18. 2018 (Gephardt Daily) — Weber State University President Charles “Chuck” Wight announced Thursday that he will step down from the office effective June 30.
Wight told people attending WSU’s Faculty Senate that he loves Weber State, but “the time has come to seek a new adventure.”
Wight explained he wanted to share the news because he is a candidate in several presidential searches at universities across the country.
“Because my candidacy at one of these universities may soon be public, I decided to tell you now, so you can hear it from me rather than from some other source,” Wight told members of Faculty Senate and others in attendance.
He also said today’s announcement will allow the Board of Regents to initiate a search for his successor.
Wight became WSU president on Jan. 1 of 2013.
