Need Not Apply at the U of U?
A University of Utah pilot program will guarantee admission for about 5,000 students without requiring them to apply. It will be available to students in the Canyons, Granite, Davis, and Provo City school districts with a GPA of 3.5 or higher and specific courses completed. [KUER]
Wild Horse Roundup
The Bureau of Land Management plans to round-up over 400 wild horses in three Utah counties where the population is double the Bureau’s recommendation. The horses will be herded via helicopter to a boarding facility and some will be put up for adoption. [Utah News Dispatch]
