Viewpoint Diversity On Campus
Institutional Neutrality
The college maintains a position of institutional neutrality. The college does not offer a series of community speakers or a platform for viewpoint presentations as doing so is outside of the mission and role of the college.
Invited speakers at graduation, professional development, and other stages are selected not based on their viewpoint diversity ideology but rather their related expert experience and commitment to technical education.
Compliance with Utah Code
To comply with Utah Code 53H-1-504(3)(d), the college has developed strategies to promote viewpoint diversity by:
- Continuing to share with new students and new employees the availability of college policies regarding all topics including those on free expression and viewpoint diversity;
- Continuing to offer a learning experience for new students about the state laws that ensure freedom of expression and non-discrimination and provide the same training experience to all employees annually; and
- Continuing to annually encourage employees to review and offer feedback on all college policies including those discussing freedom of expression and viewpoint diversity.
Free expression and individual rights are discussed further in Policy 535 Nondiscrimination, Equal Opportunity, and Free Expression found on the college’s Plans, Policies, & Procedures webpage.
