Positions itself? LOL. It just is. That's like saying a lion positions itself as a counterweight to a zebra. The U of U is a counterweight to the LDS Church at a cellular level. Any self-respecting university is an enemy of an institution that hates intellectuals, history, science, gays and female professional classes. That hates empiricism and truth for truth's sake. The U of U will always be enemy no. 1 of the LDS church.
