(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Supreme Court justice Paige Petersen asks a question as the court hears the appeal filed by BYU lawyers in 2018 after a 3rd District judge ruled that the private universityÕs police force is a governmental entity that has to follow the same rules for transparency as other police departments across the state on Friday, Oct. 4, 2019. The Salt Lake Tribune's lawsuit involved whether BYU police should be subject to Utah's open records laws.
