This resolution would direct Utah Valley University, working with the Utah Board of Higher Education, to conduct a detailed feasibility study on establishing a law school at its Thanksgiving Point campus in Lehi, examining facility and staffing needs, faculty and accreditation requirements, likely student demand, tuition costs, enrollment projections, and five-year budget and capital funding needs. The study would also need to consider designing the program around evening and weekend classes for working professionals, and evaluate whether a law school might work better as a shared program among multiple Utah System of Higher Education institutions rather than solely at UVU. UVU would be required to submit its findings and recommendations to the Legislature's Education Interim Committee and Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee by November 30, 2026, and would have to pay for the study using only non-tax-based funds appropriated by the Legislature.
