Morgan, 63, became the private Salt Lake City college’s 18th president in 2015, but has served at the institution for 37 years. A spokesperson for the college’s board of trustees said it will launch a nationwide search to replace him, with a successor expected to be in place by the summer of 2018.
“Working together as a community, we have made Westminster a better place of high learning and a place where all students can find their passion and lead meaningful lives,” Morgan said in a statement. “Westminster and its community will always hold a special place in my heart.
