SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Author Stephen R. Covey is joining Utah State University as a tenured business professor.
The author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" will be the school's first Jon M. Huntsman Presidential Chair in Leadership. The position was made possible by a $1.5 million donation from Jon M. Huntsman.
On Thursday Jon M. Huntsman School of Business Dean Douglas Anderson said Covey will donate his $75,000 yearly salary back to the school. The money will help fund the Stephen R. Covey Center for Leadership.
Anderson says Covey's appointment is a step toward the school being known for ethical leadership.
Covey is a well-known management expert who also co-founded Franklin Covey, a professional services firm.
Utah State President Stan Albrecht says Covey will boost the school's profile.
