Zhifan Dong was an international student at the University of Utah. In February of 2022, she was tragically murdered by her ex-boyfriend in a downtown Salt Lake City hotel room. After she was found, the University of Utah found evidence its housing staff had not acted according to its protocols. This is the second time in less than 5 years that similar mistakes were made contributing to the death of another student, Lauren McCluskey.
