Kelly Miles, requires a process for the southern Utah university s board of trustees to consult with the Utah Board of Higher Education to select and recommend a new name for the institution to the state lawmakers.  It also requires the Education Interim Committee to prepare and consider legislation incorporating the new name into Utah Code.  The bill requires the university s new name not to include the term Dixie and must be recommended to the Utah Legislature by Nov. 1.
