The UVU Review — Legal
Disclaimer
Independent Student Publication
The UVU Review is the independent, student-operated news publication of Utah Valley University (UVU). We are staffed entirely by UVU students and operate under the editorial control of student editors.
The UVU Review is not the official voice of Utah Valley University. The views, opinions, and editorial positions expressed in our content do not represent, and should not be attributed to, UVU, its Board of Trustees, administration, faculty, or staff.
Accuracy & Corrections
We are committed to accuracy and fair reporting. Our student journalists follow established journalistic standards, including the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics.
Despite our best efforts, errors may occur. If you believe an article contains a factual error, please contact us via our contact form with the subject "Correction Request." We take corrections seriously and will investigate promptly. Significant corrections are appended to the original article with a dated correction notice.
Opinion & Editorial Content
Columns, editorials, letters to the editor, and clearly labeled opinion pieces reflect the views of their individual authors — not the publication as a whole or its staff unless explicitly stated. An editorial board position, where published, will be identified as representing the editorial board.
Satire and parody content, when published, is labeled as such. We do not intend for satirical content to be mistaken for factual reporting.
No Professional Advice
Content on this Site — including news articles, opinion pieces, event listings, and multimedia — is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on this Site constitutes or should be construed as:
- Legal advice;
- Medical or health advice;
- Financial or investment advice;
- Official UVU academic or administrative guidance.
For authoritative information, please consult the appropriate professional or official university resources.
Advertising Disclaimer
Paid advertisements, sponsored content, and promoted posts are clearly labeled as "Advertisement," "Sponsored," or "Paid Partnership." The acceptance of advertising does not imply editorial endorsement of any product, service, or organization. Advertising relationships do not influence editorial decisions.
External Links
This Site may link to external websites for reader convenience or as source attribution. The UVU Review does not endorse, control, or take responsibility for the content of external sites. Links do not constitute endorsement of the linked organizations or their positions.
First Amendment & Student Press Rights
The UVU Review operates under the protections of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and Utah's student press freedom statutes. Student journalists have the right to exercise freedom of speech and press in school-sponsored publications, and prior review or censorship by university administration is prohibited except in limited circumstances defined by law.
The publication of content that may be controversial, critical, or uncomfortable is sometimes integral to the mission of a free student press serving the public interest.
Photography & Video
Photographs and video taken in public spaces — including on the UVU campus, which is a public institution — may be published without individual consent, consistent with applicable law and journalistic practice. Individuals photographed in a private capacity or in contexts with a reasonable expectation of privacy will be handled with care and in accordance with ethical standards.
Artificial Intelligence Disclosure
When artificial intelligence tools are used in the production of any content published on this Site, that use will be disclosed in the article. AI is not used to generate news reporting without human editorial oversight and verification. The accuracy and editorial integrity of all published content remain the responsibility of our student staff.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The UVU Review and its student contributors, editors, faculty advisors, and affiliated parties are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on content published on this Site.
