A handful of colleges around the country are clinging to COVID-19-related protocols, including mask mandates for indoor areas and vaccine mandates for students and staff.
Pandemic-related restrictions on some college campuses persist as most public health guidelines have relaxed and mask and vaccine mandates have receded from most areas of daily life.
But in some cases, the mandates are going beyond COVID-19. At the University of California, Berkeley, students are mandated to get vaccinated against coronavirus, as well as the flu. The university's guidance says students who are not vaccinated against the flu will be required to wear a mask during flu season.
The most common remaining COVID-19 requirement is that all students be vaccinated. Thousands of college students nationwide are facing vaccination requirements extending from the entire University of California and California State University systems to the campuses of Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, the University of Illinois, and others.

Wearing a mask is "currently optional" at the University of California, San Diego, according to the university's website, which also says masks are "required" in a number of areas, including within residential buildings and "indoor classroom/instructional settings, clinical areas, and on ... university transportation."
The only places in residential buildings where students are not required to wear a mask are in the shower and in their "personal bedrooms."

In a statement to the Washington Examiner, Kara Zupkus, a spokeswoman for Young Americas Foundation, a conservative student activist organization, said that university administrators should "wake up and actually follow the science."
"Continuing to push fearful narratives through COVID hysteria does a disservice to university students trying to have a normal college experience," Zupkus said. "Colleges should trust students to make their own educated decisions regarding masking and vaccines––rather than enforcing liberals’ worldview on their everyday lives."

Wearing a mask is “currently optional” at the University of California, San Diego...but....the only places where students are not required to wear a mask are in the shower
And the idiots line up and take out loans to become life-long indentured servants to the abusive, bloated, rip-off universities. Let ‘em wear masks.
“Elite” colleges are dens of insanity. Do not send your kids to them.
“The university’s guidance says students who are not vaccinated against the flu will be required to wear a mask during flu season.”
This I where it’s all going if the left get what they want. That’s not even covid just the FLU and made up. Women did this I’m telling you.
Mask up typo
This is why our daughter had to walk away from her full scholarship at the University of Arizona after her first semester. Her asthma prevented her from wearing a useless paper mask and the only accomodation they offered was to sit in her dorm room and take all of her classes online. Whatever happened to liberals bending over backwards to address physical handycaps?
They are already slaves in a Swamp box..to the 666 plan

I feel bad for them but they pay big dollars to be treated like pound puppies.
Maybe if nobody signed up and paid then things would change.
Killing off lib voters sounds good to me.
Then when these marxist professors and colleges get done with these kids they become the ruling class, infect businesses and govn’t and enforce these mandates and all the rest on us. That’s what has been happening. Not good.
If I use a pulse oximeter while wearing a mask, I can watch my O2 concentration drop from 97 to 90 right before my eyes. That cannot be good long term for any of your organs, just as bad as having sleep krapnea. all to keep from getting the sniffles. BTW, it would seem that I probably got Covid last week as my mom suffered a broken hip and I spent some time with her at the hospital so I assume I got it there. I have a whole plethora of co morbidities with kidney issues, heart issues, yada yada the list goes on, and I was a little run down for a few days but I assumed it was just the stress as I did not have a fever. Turns out my mom tested positive with no symptoms, so I think the odds are good that I had the evil Rona. I was just a little more tired than usual, and did have the teeniest, tiniest cough...big whoop, I would gladly suffer that every day the rest of my life rather than wear a stupid face diaper.
Democrat thugs just can’t help themselves.
We went to get our labs done at a Banner Medical clinic yesterday and they required masks. I couldn’t believe it. Apparently they don’t follow the news.
U of A is full of liberal wokeness. ASU might be a better choice instead.
Eeewww.
Those things are nasty.
Two weeks to stop the spread! Remember that from 2 1/2 years ago!
Hardly anybody in the city wears the masks these days. But the Yale kids can knock themselves out with their virtue signaling thing.
Bitter clingers?
