Ariel University is an Israeli institution located on the West Bank, an area designated by the UN as one of two disconnected sections of Palestine, the other being Gaza. The University exists as part of a settlement, illegal under UN law. Israel claims this region as part of Israel and seeks to colonize through the establishment of such settlements.

The MOU itself is a single page, stating that “cooperation and development of activities may extend to any fields and subjects in which the two institutions may identify shared interests.” The only identified field for mutual cooperation at this time is “scientific exchange” in fields such as data science and AI.

The agreement has not yet been implemented. Specifically, the memorandum calls for the appointment of a liaison tasked with coordinating research and exchanges.

In a statement to the Utah Daily Chronicle, Associate Director of Public Relations & Communications Heather King said the U’s liaison “has not been identified yet,” and that the timeline and job duties of a liaison have not yet been determined.

Following a difficult end to the regular season, the University of Utah softball team (13-40, 5-19 Big 12) traveled east to Oklahoma to participate in the team's first Big 12 tournament. The Utes, who finished the season losing 16 of their last 17 games, looked to turn their fortunes around in their first tournament match against UCF.
The Utes finished the season with a 0.245 winning percentage, marking their worst season in the team’s 40 year history. However, with a young team, the future deems promising as the Utes look to return to their winning ways. Utah Softball will return to Dumke Family Softball Stadium in 2026 for their second year as a Big 12 member.

When K-12 schools fail to adequately prepare students, they pass the burden onto colleges. This dilutes the experience of higher education, as colleges are forced to instill knowledge that students should be entering with. College students are struggling to read books and are taking far more remedial classes.

The plan, similar to the Grading for Equity plan already in effect in the San Leandro Unified School District, would award A’s starting at 80% and allow scores as low as 21% to be a passing D grade.
Destroying academic standards places undue stress on teachers and tanks student motivation. Academic institutions have a responsibility to push their students to learn and hold them accountable effectively.

When progressive terms like “equity” are used to support catastrophic policy, it harms both the students affected by it and those of us who are truly committed to equity in our work.

Anti-Trump No Kings protests swept the nation on Friday, many a continuation of ongoing protests against deportations by ICE. While gatherings in Los Angeles and Atlanta saw suppression by law enforcement and Proud Boys, Salt Lake City’s greatest threat came from a gunman and two potential accomplices.
Salt Lake City’s No Kings protests began at the University of Utah, where over 5,000 gathered outside the Marriott Library Plaza. Six hours later, a separate protest organized by Utah 50501 assembled in Pioneer Park.
Over 10,000 protestors left Pioneer Park and headed east along University Boulevard at 7 p.m., turning north on State Street towards the capitol.
Protestors chanted, ‘No ICE, no K*K, no fascist USA’ and ‘Not our king’ among other phrases along the rally, waving Pride, Mexican, and anti-Trump flags.
Still, the hopeful messaging of the protest soon came under attack. Organizers and law enforcement diverted the march from the capitol, some individuals moving east along 100 South, other doubling back down State Street. Just before 8 p.m., multiple gunshots rang out at 151 State Street.
In a press conference later that night, Salt Lake City police chief Brian Redd explained one person was shot and suffered “life threatening” injuries. Based on eye-witness descriptions, the shooter and two other involved individuals were quickly identified and taken into custody. Redd stated the individual who was shot is also in police custody.
Following the shooting, remnants of the protest reunited and returned to Pioneer Park around 8:35 p.m. Still, the atmosphere was subdued. State troopers at the park urged protestors to disburse for safety reasons, while protest organizers stated the police would soon begin arrests.
