Utah revokes license for boarding school where Paris Hilton says she was abused as a teen
Regulators cited staffing, restraint and neglect violations and ordered all campus services to end by Aug. 6, officials said.
- On Monday, Utah officials revoked the license of the Provo Canyon School's Springville campus, citing a failure to "provide applicable health and safety services for clients." The state ordered all services terminated by August 6.
- Media personality Paris Hilton alleges she suffered abuse at the facility in the late 1990s and has long called for its closure. She testified before Congress and helped pass laws protecting teens in 15 other states.
- Citations dating back to 2025 include unnecessary restraint, aggressive physical contact, and failing to verify employee background checks. State officials imposed temporary restrictions in May after staff allegedly failed to call 911, delaying medical treatment for an injured minor.
- Administrators have 15 days to request an administrative hearing before the Department of Health & Human Services to contest the revocation. All services must cease by August 6 if the decision stands.
- Survivors welcomed the action, with Hilton stating, "Today, the state confirmed what survivors have known all along." The school, now under new ownership, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
