LOGAN A new Utah State University policy gives victims of sexual misconduct another option for resolving cases that officials hope will encourage more students to report incidents.
The option, which was detailed by university leadership Thursday on an interim policy on sexual misconduct, will allow students to pursue an informal resolution, if desired, in addition to the formal complaint and investigation route already available.

SALT LAKE CITY After local activist Lex Scott appeared on an episode of PBS American Portrait on Tuesday, she received a lot of positive feedback from friends, family and community members. But she also received several threatening phone messages the next day.
Unfortunately, threats are nothing new to Scott, the founder of Black Lives Matter Utah. She s posted audio recordings of two dozen such threats online for the public to see, and played audio of the new threats on Facebook Wednesday night.
