The photo desk of the Daily Utah Chronicle presents the best photos of the week, taken by our staff of photojournalists.
The U. was fortunate to have received two nationally-recognized politicians to campus in the last week, including Vice President Joe Biden to the Huntsman Cancer Institute and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who gave a speech regarding the current state of the Republican party’s nominee race.
Also featured are photos from a downtown protest about police violence, and the Runnin’ Utes’ momentous victory against the Arizona Wildcats.
