The breakfast is free and open to the public.
Jones started his career teaching American government at Granite and Bountiful high schools. He received his doctorate from the U. in 1968 and began teaching at Utah State University. He began teaching at the U. in 1978.
The Hinckley Institute of Politics is trying to raise $40,000 for a biography about Jones and a scholarship fund.
The Utah Legislature honored Jones last month for his work.
