This stalled brie¬ y when some legislators noted that a majority of Utahns opposed the name change. My answer is simple…I don’t care what an electrician in Davis County thinks about the issue any more than we should care about what a land developer in Utah County thinks. The University’s Board of Trustees voted in favor of the name change after students claimed the reference to Dixie harmed their employment prospects and devalued their degrees, especially with out-of-state employers. The students and former graduates are the ones we should be concerned with, not a legislator with no cards in the game and with little connection to the institution. Allowing CONCEALED WEAPONS without a permit. I’m not a gun owner, but I generally sup- port the right of Utahns to own weapons unless there is a serious reason to deny them the right. Therefore, I initially supported the bill since, even if a bad guy is denied a permit, it is not diŽ cult to obtain one illegally. However, I then heard a concerned father explain on KSL-Radio that of his two sons, one of them “lacks the maturity and level-headed thinking” to have access to a ƒ rearm. Without the training the permit requires, he was afraid for the safety of his son and others. It made me think, so today I’m not sure where I stand on the bill.

CDC recommendations released on February 17, 2021 state that schools “already open for in-person instruction can remain open, but only if they strictly implement mitigation strategies and have few cases.” With more than 70 percent of nation- wide K-12 student enrollment currently falling within the “high transmission” threshold, these recommendations wrongly encourage the majority of schools across the country to remain in or return to virtual-only instruction, even though some of them are already currently oering in-person instruction safely. Additionally, these recommen- dations thwart the Biden administration’s goal of reopening schools for in-person instruction, ƒve days a week, by April 30.
