Campus Safety Bill Strengthens Protections for Utah College Students
The Utah Legislature passed Senate Bill 134 in 2019 following Lauren McCluskey’s murder, requiring public colleges and universities to develop comprehensive safety plans. The legislation established clearer procedures for responding to stalking, dating violence, domestic violence, and sexual assault while improving coordination between campus departments and victim support services. Inspired by Lauren’s story, the bill represented a significant step toward strengthening campus safety and protecting future students across Utah.
