90%
Correction - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not track where LDS students choose to attend schools, colleges, and/or universities.
The only way this question could be answered with any accuracy would be if Utah State University tracked the information and released the information to the public - which is not likely to happen.

∙ 10y agoThe faculty at the University of Utah are not required to disclose their religious affiliation and it would be illegal to require them to do so. However, having attended the University of Utah for some time I would estimate that the number of practicing Mormons in the faculty is lower than the general population in the metro area. Most do have a good knowledge and understanding of the Mormon culture and beliefs, but are not practicing members themselves (many may have grown up Mormon but are no longer practicing). Mormon faculty tends to be more common in certain areas than others, and the school does a good job of creating an environment where Mormon students are comfortable.

Do the Mormon values play a part at the university of Utah?
Approximately 40% of University of Utah students are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). While the University of Utah is by no means a conservative school, the culture there is sometimes affected by the large proportion of Mormon students. Most of the Mormon students live off-campus and do not participate a great deal in on-campus events. The Mormon Church itself has no influence over the school, but there is a large Institute of Religion across the street from Huntsman Center which provides religious classes, worship services, and activities such as dances and parties. The Institute is open to everyone, and many Mormon students choose to participate in the Institute activites rather than the school-sponsered activities.
What percentage of Utah politicians are Mormon?
Politicians in Utah are not required to reveal their religious preferences, and most do not. Additionally, it would be impossible to list and research all the politicians at the state and local level, since there are hundreds (including city mayors, city council members, etc) We can assume (and it appears to be true) that the percentage of Mormons among politicians in Utah mirrors that of the general population, with about 60-80% being Mormon depending on the area.

Theocratic governments are not allowed within the United States. About 60-70% of the state-level politicians in Utah are members of the Mormon church, which is simply a reflection of the fact that about 65% of the residents of Utah are practicing Mormons.
