SALT LAKE CITY — University of Utah officials decided against making a policy change for campus athletic events after two women went topless to a football game over the weekend.

A university spokesperson said school leaders met Wednesday and determined that no change was necessary. The university says it will follow state law at games, and that anyone in violation of that law will be denied entrance or ejected from the stadium.

Campus police are currently investigating the incident that occurred during Saturday's Utes game vs. Southern Utah.

Two women attended the game at Rice-Eccles Stadium without wearing shirts, and instead had body paint on their torsos. After a University of Utah officer intervened, the women put shirts on, but detectives are determining whether to file criminal charges.
