Higher Education Student Belief Accommodation

Summary

The bill mandates that public and private higher‑education institutions in Utah provide reasonable accommodations when a student's sincerely held religious or conscience belief conflicts with an exam, assignment, or required activity. Schools must adopt written policies, a grievance process, and designate a neutral arbiter to review denied requests, while also publishing procedures and a two‑year list of religious holidays. The aim is to protect belief‑based student rights without fundamentally altering course requirements.
