University of Utah backs down on sanctions against YAF after legal threat

The University of Utah agreed not to punish the campus Young Americans for Freedom group for allegedly not following unenforced rules.

The announcement comes after the group threatened legal action against the public university.

Associate Dean Erica Andersen confirmed to the group that it would not be punished for allegedly posting too many times on bulletin boards about an upcoming speech by Chloe Cole, a woman who speaks out about her regret at having a surgery and taking drugs to present herself as a man. Anderson’s email indicated she believed the group had violated the unenforced and new policy.
