Good morning, Orem.

Utah Valley University is reviewing its campus safety procedures after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated earlier this month at a campus event when he was shot while answering a question about mass shootings—officials say an independent review will help guide better safety standards on future events.

Utah Valley University is planning a campus memorial to honor Charlie Kirk with a committee led by the Board of Trustees chair and the state higher education board leader.

Students, political leaders and other stakeholders will help shape the project by offering additional input via the campus website — ensuring the memorial reflects a broad range of views.

A WalletHub study shows that Utah graduates have the lowest student debt in the nation—Utah was ranked 51st among all 50 states and the District of Columbia for loan indebtedness.

The study also found that fewer Utah students carry debt compared to states like New Hampshire, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania.
