An independent UVU review found the university never completed a written security assessment or event action plan for the September 10, 2025 rally where Charlie Kirk was killed.
Campus officials had warned in August 2025 that the courtyard was exposed to surrounding tall buildings, but Turning Point USA pushed to keep the outdoor venue and UVU failed to document a line-of-sight review.
The report also cited weak coordination between university police and Kirk's private security team: a proposed pre-event meeting never happened, and no joint briefing or walk-through was held.
Kirk's family said the findings reinforced its wrongful-death claims, while the review said no UVU employee acted in bad faith and instead issued recommendations for future major campus events.
Tyler Robinson has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder in the 31-year-old activist's shooting, and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
