Kingsbury]] recommended that five faculty members be dismissed after a graduation speaker made a speech critical of Utah governor [[William Spry]]. One third of the faculty resigned in protest of these dismissals. Some felt that the dismissals were a result of the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|LDS Church]]'s influence on the university, while others felt that they reflected a more general pattern of repressing religious and political expression that might be deemed offensive. The controversy was largely resolved when Kingsbury resigned in 1916, but university operations were again interrupted by World War I, and later [[The Great Depression]] and World War II. Student enrollment dropped to a low of 3,418 during the last year of World War II, but [[A. Ray Olpin]] made substantial additions to campus following the war, and enrollment reached 12,000 by the time he retired in 1964.

Ray Olpin]] University Union and courtyard]]A large portion of university students live off-campus, as the university is located in a large [[Salt Lake City, Utah MSA|metropolitan area]] and has beds for less than 10% of its undergraduate population in [[Dormitory|residence halls]] and single student apartments. An additional 1,115 family apartments are available to students, staff, and faculty. One of the university's primary four goals for long-term campus growth is to increase student engagement through the addition of on-campus housing, intramural fields, athletic centers, and a new [[student activity center]].<ref name="plan elements">{{cite web|url=http://www.facilities.utah.edu/static-content/facilitiesmanagement/files/pdf/2008_UofU_CMP_5_Plan_Elements.pdf|title=Plan Elements (50 MB)|year=2008 | format=PDF|work=Campus Master Plan|publisher=University of Utah|accessdate=May 22, 2009}}</ref> The current student activity center, the [[A.

The building includes a cafeteria, computer lab, recreational facilities, and a ballroom for special events. The Union also houses the [[Lowell L.
