Sam Benson on Dixie State’s name change struggle

Published: Feb. 18, 2021, 10:03 p.m.

Deseret News opinion writer Sam Benson joins Boyd to discuss the continuing struggle of Dixie State Universities’ name. While lawmakers and leaders continue to ask if the name should be changed for the sake of its students’ future, Benson points out that Latter-day Saints (not Mormons!) know what’s in a name. After all, the Dixie State’s name change isn’t about the past but is about their students’ future, and the bill to rename the school has already cleared Utah’s House. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
