University of Utah Reviews 'Kirkiversary' Dispute After 2 Republicans Face Doxxing Allegations

Summary
The University of Utah said it is reviewing allegations of harassment, threats and inappropriate sharing of personal information after a "Happy Kirkiversary" cake mocking Charlie Kirk’s death sparked a campus uproar.
Two College Republicans were summoned to closed-door meetings over allegations they tried to doxx another student after one posted a photo of the cake on X, but the meetings were abruptly canceled before they began.
The dispute began on Sept. 10, the first anniversary of Kirk’s murder, when a woman brought the cake to a College Republicans event; the image went viral and an anonymous X user identified the student as Sara Larsen.
An X account under that name later posted an apology saying it was wrong to celebrate Kirk’s death, though Fox News Digital said it could not independently verify the account belonged to the student involved.
The university said it must balance free expression with student safety, adding that threats, electronic harassment and inappropriate sharing of information are not protected speech.
