The family of Charlie Kirk has filed a notice that they intend to sue Utah Valley University, claiming that a “series of stunning failures and reckless decisions” led to the conservative activist’s assassination during an event on campus last year.
People who worked for Kirk, the 31-year-old Turning Point USA founder, flagged rooftop access at a nearby building as a concern ahead of the September 10, 2025 speaking engagement, but the university’s chief of police told them they were “covered.”
