Strike up the band... pull up the names


Be careful, BYU fans, about giving to the University of Utah marching band.

You may think you're just being a good sport, showing some state pride or supporting President-elect Barack Obama. But you may still have to answer to your fellow Cougars for what you've done.

That's because the identities of donors to colleges and universities in Utah can be public records, much like your political contributions are public records. But in the case of gifts to universities, you may request, in writing, that your name not be disclosed. At that point, the university is suppose to shield your name from disclosure.

Click here for the state statute. Read paragraph 37.
