The University of Utah's Deputy General Counsel, Robert Payne, has advised faculty to comply with House Bill 77, which prohibits the prominent display of flags, including pride flags, on public college campuses. With the law set to take effect on May 7, exemptions exist for personal expression, allowing flags in private office spaces but not in prominent locations. The bill was not explicitly aimed at pride flags, according to its sponsor, yet he acknowledged their significant political impact, framing the argument as one of ideological visibility rather than inclusivity.
Utah's new law prohibits prominent display of pride flags on public campus, urging faculty to comply to avoid worsening legislative consequences.
The law bans flags from prominent locations, with exceptions for personal expression, while reinforcing control over visibility and speech.
