Weber State is starting a new tuition plan that freezes prices for associate degree students with less than 60 credits, which will save them about $70 this summer so students like nursing student Lynzi Hallett can work fewer jobs.

Eight international students from Utah universities and the ACLU filed a lawsuit in federal court in Salt Lake City last Friday — accusing the U.S. Department of Homeland Security of revoking their SEVIS registrations without proper due process.
They asked a judge to reinstate the registrations so the students can continue their studies.
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit from nine plaintiffs seeking the return of hundreds of thousands in tithing donations to the church, ruling that the case is time-barred.
The decision, delivered on Thursday (the plaintiffs can no longer refile their claims), marks another legal win for the church.
