Anti-Semitism is currently at an all-time high in the United States.

Approximately 99 percent of the BYU student body are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The remaining 1 percent — about 425 students — are members of other faiths like Buddhism, Catholicism, Evangelical Protestantism, Islam and Judaism.

BYU students cast as members of the Book of Mormon Visual Library Project have been asked to rock beards and long hair on campus. The committee head on the film project, Elder LeGrand R. Curtis Jr. said the videos will be used to "introduce people to the Book of Mormon."

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced policy changes to the Conference Center on Sept. 28, including that security will no longer store personal items and North Temple will be temporarily closed before and after General Conference sessions.

Non-LDS students at BYU are a minority, the school has a student body where over 98 percent of the population are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Students started the BYU Interfaith Club to give minority students a voice and foster understanding between Latter-day Saint students and students from other religious backgrounds.

Potential missionaries who live in Utah and Idaho will now receive their mission calls online rather than through the mail, according to a press release on Mormon Newsroom.
