Tribune reporter Erin Alberty discusses the prominence of people confronting COVID-19 symptoms lasting more than three months from their initial infection — also known as COVID “long haulers.” It's why the University of Utah opened a COVID-19 Long-Hauler Clinic last year. Statewatch reporter Alastair Lee Bitsoi talks about how Zion National Park received a record-breaking 5 million visitors last year, according to unofficial numbers. But is that a good thing? And, on Valentine's Day, immigrants skipped work and school to join the national “A Day Without Immigrants” protest, while urging the U.S. Congress and the Biden administration for a pathway to citizenship.

New cases of the coronavirus in Utah are rising again. Last Friday, state epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn issued a memo to Utah health officials that said, “We are quickly getting to a point where the only viable option to manage spread and deaths will be a complete shutdown.” On the latest episode of “Trib Talk,” Tribune reporters Erin Alberty and Nate Carlisle and Navajo Times reporter Arlyssa Becenti gave the latest on coronavirus hot spots and testing issues in Utah and the Navajo Nation.

Hundreds of anonymous stories of accusation, intimidation and interrogation at Brigham Young University have been posted to an Instagram account boasting 34,000 followers and calling into question the private school’s enforcement of its honor code. The stories paint a combined portrait of current and former students living in fear and anxiety under the threat of expulsion and eviction due to alleged offenses ranging from extramarital sexual activity, to drug and alcohol use, to breaking curfew. On this week’s episode of “Trib Talk,” Sidney Draughon, a BYU alumna and creator of the HonorCodeStories Instagram account, and Tribune reporters Jessica Miller and Erin Alberty join Benjamin Wood to discuss calls for reform at the provo school, and a perceived culture of peer-to-peer spying stemming from strict enforcement of moral and behavioral standards.

Two students in the Brigham Young University system are facing removal from school, not because they violated campus policies, but because their Mormon bishop has revoked — or is threatening to revoke — their ecclesiastical endorsements, a requirement to attend schools owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It’s a unique, and some say troubling, aspect of LDS higher education, in which Mormon bishops with no professional ties to the universities have the power to issue de facto expulsions at any time, and at their individual discretion, with relatively little recourse for students. At BYU-Idaho, a student who reported a sexual assault has already been removed from school despite an amnesty policy meant to protect victims. And at BYU in Provo, a transgender student says their bishop has threatened to pull their endorsement if they go forward with a planned surgery to remove their breasts. On this week’s “Trib Talk” podcast, Tribune reporters Erin Alberty, Courtney Tanner and Benjamin Wood discuss the role that ecclesiastical endorsements play at BYU campuses, and the ability of lay religious leaders level academic punishment for violations of church standards.
