Nine of Gov. Cox's nominees to the Utah Board of Higher Education have been confirmed to start work in July.
The Utah Board of Higher Education is on the cusp of a wholesale change of board membership.
The governor’s senior adviser says the change will enable the board “to better focus on a statewide vision.”
One senator repeatedly cited “cultural wars” on campuses while asking nominees about moving away from a focus on “disaffected groups” to a focus on individuals.
A Senate committee will vet Cox's nominees Monday for the Utah Board of Higher Education.
