Mayor Ralph Becker will help kick off the Human Rights Education Project in downtown Salt Lake City on Friday night.

The Mayor's Office of Diversity and Human Rights is planning an array of classes for Salt Lake City's refugee population, ranging from employment and workplace safety to sexual violence and gang prevention.

The free event starts at 5:30 p.m. at the Salt lake City and County Building (451 South State Street). It includes entertainment and a silent auction with proceeds going to help refugee and immigrant families.

SALT LAKE CITY — The LDS Church helped the University of Utah’s law school Friday by donating $4 million for a new facility.

Spokespersons for the J.S. Quinney College of Law say they were grateful for the church’s help, which will help them finance their $60 million construction project.

School administrators call the new facility a teaching hospital for law and a translational collaborative research facility.

The LDS Church released the following statement:

“We believe that this investment both reflects the very close relationship of the university and the LDS Church as well as provides us the opportunity to improve the human condition of our society; to work in the community through our service-learning programs.”

The law school’s new home is expected to be completed by the 2014-2015 school year.

The current building was constructed in 1963.

A police chase ended in a car crash with two people hurt early Friday morning. 

It happened at the intersection of 800 South and 400 East in Salt Lake City just after 12 a.m.

Officers said they tried to pull over a driver who was acting suspicious, but the driver refused and took off.  He slammed into a pickup a few blocks away.

“The suspect that was driving the vehicle bailed on foot and ran into the block,” said Lt. Josh Scharman, Salt Lake Police Department.

The suspect was later found and arrested with the help of K-9 units. 

Officers said they are not sure why the man refused to pull over.

The two people in the truck suffered minor injuries and were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
