"The presence of student political activism at Brigham Young University during the late 1960s and early 1970s was, like student activism elsewhere, as much a function of the school's prevailing culture as of activist trends nationally. BYU students across the political spectrum responded to local and national events in ways both informed by and in reaction to political and intellectual currents on the Utah Valley campus. Thus a discussion of BYU student activism must also examine the political climate at the LDS church-owned school. Such a consideration locates BYU activism as occurring at an institution already politicized by an outspoken president, a mostly--but not entirely--sympathetic Board of Trustees, and a faculty and student body espousing somewhat broader political interests."
