I write this with outrage over the authoritarian, senseless actions of self-serving knee-jerk administrators H. David Burton, Vivian Lee and David Pershing. These dictators of secrecy must be fired for the reactionary harm they have caused the Huntsman Cancer Institute and its staff, the University of Utah and the general reputation of our entire state.
I am a twice grateful survivor of cancer and literally owe my life to the Huntsman family and Dr. Christopher Dechet and his excellent oncology staff. Their productivity along with that of CEO Mary Beckerle deserve full community support.
I am angry and am one of many who demand justice. That can only happen by firing the hacks who trampled the sensitivities of all professionals in the employ of both HCI and U. of U.
