About this episode
In this episode of House Rules , Rep. Karen Peterson talks with Utah Commissioner of Higher Education Geoffrey Landward about House Bill 265, a new law reshaping how Utah funds its public colleges and universities. As the state asks institutions to realign resources with student demand and workforce needs, Peterson and Landward explain what the changes mean for students, how tuition is being kept in check, and why the goal is smarter investment, not cuts. They also discuss program mergers, data-driven planning, and what comes next for higher education in Utah.
