SALT LAKE CITY Utah lawmakers took another step Wednesday to change the name of Dixie State University.
After nearly an hour of emotional debate that extended past the House s scheduled adjournment from its morning session, representatives voted 51-20 to pass HB278, which would launch a process to change the name of Dixie State University. The bill moves to the Utah Senate for further consideration.
Many representatives from the St. George area voted against the bill, some of whom said the process had been rushed and there had not been sufficient community input.
Sponsored by Rep. Kelly Miles, R-South Ogden, the bill would require the university s trustees, in consultation with the Utah Board of Higher Education, to select and recommend a new name for the four-year institution in St. George to the Legislature for its consideration.
Proposed river authority would assert Utahâs claims to the Coloradoâs dwindling water
A bill would allow the new agency â which environmentalists call âshadowyâ â to close its meetings and keep its records confidential.
(Leah Hogsten | Tribune file photo) Utah legislative leaders on Thursday unveiled plans for a new $9 million state agency to advance Utahâs claims to the Colorado River in hopes of wrangling more of the riverâs water. Environmentalists characterized the proposed river commission as a âshadowy new government agencyâ aimed at promoting the Lake Powell pipeline and other big water diversions.
