UVU Students Protest One Year After Kirk Death | Dayton News

Students at Utah Valley University are preparing for a peaceful protest this Thursday to mark the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death, organized by Students for a Democratic Society who oppose any permanent tribute to him on campus. They’re holding de-escalation training, using signs like “no Kirk on campus” and “UVU is a place for unity, not division,” while the university closes for the day to encourage community reflection and service. A private memorial for Kirk will take place that evening at the UCCU Center. Despite national conservative claims calling the group “Antifa,” SDS insists their demonstration will remain nonviolent — no weapons, uncovered faces, and no emotional confrontations. University officials confirm heightened security measures without revealing specifics, aiming to keep campus safe while preserving normal operations.
