- Utah has revoked the operating license for Provo Canyon School, a boarding school where Paris Hilton alleges she was abused as a teenager, citing the institution's failure to provide applicable health and safety services.
- The state's decision, effective Monday, details numerous noncompliance issues, including failing to increase staff-to-client ratios, engaging in unnecessary restraint, neglecting care, and not verifying employee information.
- State health officials had previously imposed temporary restrictions in May after staff reportedly failed to seek immediate medical care for a student with serious injuries.
- Paris Hilton, who spent nearly a year at the school in the late 1990s, stated that the state's decision confirms what survivors have known all along about the school's failures.
- The school has 15 days to request a hearing, and all services at the campus must cease by August 6, following Hilton's extensive advocacy for laws to protect teens in such facilities.
