Huntsman also characterized the university's firing of Beckerle as "a terrible, terrible thing they've done to our family" and "far, far, far removed from anything we've ever seen at any cancer hospital anywhere."
During his world travels and business dealings, Huntsman told the Deseret News, he has never seen unethical behavior to the extent that he has with current university administrators.
"We've never had anyone ... ever, ever act with this type of immaturity and dishonesty, ever," he said. "So it's new to us. We play by the rules, live by the rules."
