Overview

• UVU said it hired an external third party to conduct a comprehensive review of the Sept. 10 on‑campus killing to assess preparedness and response.
• The university has not disclosed the reviewer’s identity or timeline and has not said whether the findings will be made public.
• President Astrid S. Tuminez said the review’s insights will guide safety improvements at UVU and across Utah higher education.
• Questions over event security continue, with FOX 13 reporting only six campus police were assigned and noting ungranted interview requests for Chief Jeffrey Long.
• A memorial committee co‑chaired by Scott M. Smith and Amanda Covington will gather community input, as UVU expands mental‑health support and affirms free‑speech commitments.
