Normally when BYU students throw fits about something, I’m all over it. But frankly I just missed this one. I don’t know what happened. Maybe I was distracted by things going on in the world that are actually worth caring about. But who knows. Anyway, below I’ll offer a brief chronology of the world-rocking protests […]

As Wisconsin Congressman and Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan had dinner with wealthy donors and spoke to local students in the new Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah, a small group of Libertarian protesters had their say on the sidewalk outside the event.

After rumors circulated earlier in the week, BYU’s Maxwell Institute for Religious Scholarship confirmed today that Daniel C. Peterson and his associate editors would be removed from the staff of the Mormon Studies Review, previously the FARMS Review.  The periodical, which publishes articles and reviews on LDS-related topics and books, was founded by Peterson 23 years ago.

By Trevor Antley.  Full disclosure: I used to manage The Brocks back in the day when they were touring around Utah. Fun times. The two brothers–Dane and Grant–who now form The Brocks have been playing music their entire lives, but their band really began to take off in the Utah Valley area in early 2011. Since then […]
