"At this time, the athletics department will continue to use both the circle and feather and the block U logos."<br /><br />A KSL.com report on Saturday said that the school was dropping the drum and feather logo. Utah athletics director Chris Hill, however, called it inaccurate.<br /><br />"It is," Hill said.

But its quite obvious that both the High School and University Institution levels are abandoning these racist and stereotypical imagery.
