SALT LAKE CITY (AP) β Utah public records officials are ordering the Provo and Orem police departments to release a report showing any time a Brigham Young University employee accessed police records.
The decision by Utah's Records Committee Thursday is a partial victory for The Salt Lake Tribune, which requested the records.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/2cjvFu0 ) the records committee ordered the police departments to release a report showing when BYU workers in the past year and a half accessed a police database. The committee said police should redact the names of victims, suspects and the BYU employee who accessed the file.
The decision comes as federal education officials investigate the school's sex assault policy and state police review whether BYU officers inappropriately shared sexual assault case information, leading to leading to honor code investigations of students who reported assault.
