As expected, a member of the House of Representatives in Utah has filed a Bill (HB 278) to remove the Dixie name. With the filing of the bill, there will soon be a hearing before the House Education Committee. See the list below.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

There are two representatives from Dixie on the Committee,\u00a0Lowry Snow<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Brad Last<\/u><\/strong>. We do not know for sure where they stand on the removal of Dixie from the University\u2019s name. Likewise, we are unsure as to the others of the committee as well.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We request that you send messages to all members of the committee urging them to oppose the Bill. If you know any of the members personally or know people that do, please have them personalize the message.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You may also want to focus on Representatives Snow and Last to declare exactly where they stand.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

You can read the Bill at\u00a0https:\/\/le.utah.gov\/~2021\/bills\/hbillint\/HB0278.pdf<\/a><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The committee meeting is very important. But even if the Bill gets passed at the committee, it does not mean that the Bill has been approved. It must still go to a vote of the House of Representatives and then to the Senate. There are many points along the way where it can be stopped.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

THIS IS THE TIME<\/strong>\u00a0however, to really make the effort and also let our local representatives know that they need advocate and fight to fight very hard for Dixie.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We think that if our local representatives stand strong, the rest of the House will follow. We will have three persons ready to testify at the hearing, which could happen very soon.<\/p>
