Spencer Cox released a statement warning protesters to mind what he said was constitutionally protected free speech and what was not. ● A message from the University of Utah then followed through a loudspeaker to demonstrators, "Students, faculty, staff, and community members, you have the right to express your viewpoint and we have heard you. You do not, however, have the right to set up structures or camp overnight. You are violating Utah state law and the University of Utah free speech policy". It continued to outline the resulting consequences.
