flag Weber State canceled its 2025 Unity Conference due to Utah’s HB261 law restricting DEI topics and critiques of censorship.

flag Weber State University canceled its 2025 Unity Conference, themed "Redacted: Navigating the Complexities of Censorship," just days before it was set to begin, citing compliance with Utah’s HB261 law. flag The law restricts public universities from promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives or discussing identity-based privilege and oppression. flag University officials required organizers to remove political and systemic critiques of censorship, leading to the cancellation after faculty and staff expressed ethical concerns. flag In response, the American Federation of Teachers hosted an unaffiliated "teach-in" on the same day. flag The decision underscores growing tensions between state legislation and academic freedom in Utah’s higher education system.
