What Is Not Covered
A reference is as useful for what it rules out as for what it finds. These are the places a campus-wide or housing pest requirement was looked for, and what was found. Each search is recorded so it can be repeated.
| Source | What was searched | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Utah R392-200, Sanitation and Safety of Schools | Applicability section | Expressly does not apply to a “place of higher education” (R392-200-3(2)(e)) or a “child care center” (R392-200-3(2)(a)) |
| Utah R392-502, Public Lodging Facility Sanitation | Definition of public lodging facility | Expressly excludes “student housing such as a dormitory or boarding house operated by an educational institution” |
| All current Utah administrative rules | Full-text search for “dormitory,” “student housing,” and “residence hall” | No rule found by this search expressly governs sanitation or pests in university residence halls. The only “residence hall” hit is a University of Utah parking rule. Whether R392-800 reaches a residence hall is an open question |
| Utah Code Title 53H, Higher Education (formerly Title 53B, renumbered October 14, 2025) | All 445 sections, for “pest,” “vermin,” “integrated pest management,” “insect,” “rodent,” and “sanitation” | No hits |
| Utah Board of Higher Education policies | All 168 published policies, for “pest,” “vermin,” “rodent,” “insect,” “sanitation,” “integrated pest,” and “pesticide” | No hits |
| Utah Fit Premises Act, Utah Code 57-22 | Complete chapter, for “pest,” “insect,” “rodent,” “infest,” and “vermin” | No hits |
| NWCCU 2020 Standards for Accreditation | Accreditation Handbook (January 22, 2026) and the third draft of the 2027 Standards, machine-searched; the 2020 Standards page on nwccu.org, read with a summarizing tool and checked against an institution-hosted copy; for “pest,” “vermin,” “sanitation,” and “environmental health” | No hits. The nearest language is Standard 2.I.1's “healthful learning and working environments.” The third draft of the 2027 Standards drops “healthful” |
| 42 CFR 73.12, Select Agent biosafety plans | Section text | Refers to BMBL as a document to consider; contains no pest control requirement of its own |
Not yet searched, and so not stated either way: Higher Education Act program participation requirements, campus safety and disclosure laws, athletic association rules, and professional accreditation standards for individual programs.
