The University of Virginia will require students who live, learn or work on campus this fall to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, school officials announced Thursday.
The order applies to the student body of about 25,000, with the exception of students with medical or religious excuses. Faculty and staff are encouraged to get their shots, but those who do not will have to undergo regular testing, officials said.
The announcement comes as school officials make plans to open the campus further next semester. The university offered a mix of online and face-to-face classes this spring and allowed a limited number of students to live on the Charlottesville campus.
“Our planning assumes that the overwhelming majority of our community will be fully vaccinated this fall, allowing us to return to in-person instruction, research and residential life,” university leaders said in an email to students and employees.
Virginia’s flagship university joins a growing list of public campuses that are mandating coronavirus vaccines, most of which are in Democrat-led states, exposing a partisan divide between schools that will enforce vaccine mandates and those that will not.
So far, it appears that no flagship universities in states that favored President Donald Trump in his 2020 reelection bid are mandating the vaccine, according to an analysis by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Across the country, more than 380 colleges are requiring coronavirus vaccines for at least some students or faculty, the tally from the Chronicle shows.

This will be interesting to watch.
All NYS...SUNY Colleges mandate vaccinations. Thank you Governor Cuomo.
Lol the university will become a religious school now with all the folks identifying as religious to avoid vaccines
NYU is requiring it for students, strongly suggesting it with required upload of proof for faculty and staff (but additional requirements will be forthcoming).
The school should accepts financial liability for injury caused by its requiring the vaccination.
Tests, masks, vaccine are voluntary and cannot be forced 5/19/21
Yep. I think in the not too distant future we’ll see lawsuits for side effects and complications from the vaccines, especially against colleges and employers that require them.
Insanity, absolute insanity.
A History degree from the University of Virginia is worthless. The head of the History department didn't educate the Legal Department that forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/).
"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"
"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."
"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."
"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."
"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."
"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."
"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."
Institutions that attempt to force experimental treatments need to be exposed, charged, and dissolved if necessary. Their behavior is no different than korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany at the behest of the government.
My religious exception goes into action.
Time to enroll.
OSHA says they are responsible for any side effects of the big pharma vaccine concoctions...
If they want to verify, it won’t be too hard. New York already has the vaccination status tied to names and dates of birth.
Minorities except American Indians are less likely to get the vaccine. Jim Crow 2.0
Unconstitutional.
Sue!
Many will be members of the No Vax Religion.
It’s not like the school going to refund all those deposits to parents’ wallets.
Better and cheaper to go to trades school these days.
I have an idea that might just work. Stop sending your kids to college. There are plenty of trades that make very good money and they are begging for people to join their trade.
