Utah enacted a law allowing students to seek alternative assignments or exams when coursework conflicts with their religious or personal beliefs. The measure applies when a class is part of general education requirements or required for the student’s major, and requires faculty to grant opt-outs if the request does not change the fundamental nature of the course. A student at Weber State University, Madelynn Wells, described dropping a film studies class after being assigned works that conflicted with her conservative Catholic beliefs. The law’s guardrails limit accommodations, such as disallowing objections to universally required subjects like math. Higher education institutions in religious and pluralistic contexts will need updated procedures for handling opt-out requests, documenting accommodation decisions, and ensuring course learning outcomes remain intact.
