Dear Colleagues,
At the start of the pandemic over 16 months ago, I committed to you that we would avail ourselves of all feasible strategies and resources to ensure the safety of our NSU campus community. Since that time, we have met the challenge by pivoting to flexible online learning modes, implementing remote work options, providing new safety measures, making available personal protective equipment, introducing new hygiene and social distancing protocols, and responding to the individualized needs of students, faculty, and staff.
Planning for the start of the 2021 fall semester/term, we are facing the renewed challenge of the rise of the Delta variant, which has dramatically increased the number of COVID-19 cases across the country, particularly in South Florida. In response, I must consider what more we could be doing to maintain the safety of our employees and students across our various locations, workspaces and teaching/learning environments.
After due consideration of the limited options available to us, I have decided to require that all NSU employees (full- and part-time faculty and staff, adjunct faculty, and temporary employees) be vaccinated against COVID-19. The mandatory vaccination policy and the process for requesting an exemption due to documentation of a medical condition or deeply held religious reason may be accessed here.
The policy will be effective August 1st and requires that employees complete their vaccination by September 20, 2021 and report their status into the NSU Vax Max portal by or before that deadline date.
This provides employees with a two-month period to obtain either the one-shot Johnson & Johnson or the two-shot Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and allow for the two-week period thereafter for antibodies to develop in order to be considered fully vaccinated.
Employees who previously entered their completed vaccination status in the Vax Max portal are already compliant with the mandatory vaccination policy and do not need to take any further action.
Employees who do not complete their vaccination by September 20, 2021, and do not receive an exemption, will be given the option to convert to unpaid leave status for up to 45 days to consider the vaccination options or request an exemption. As many other business leaders and educational leaders have done around the country, I take this step in the interest of providing for the greatest measure of safety and protection for our NSU community—and in the desire to enable us to return to a more secure quality of life with fewer safety restrictions in the coming year.
Thank you and Fins Up,
George L. Hanbury II, Ph.D. President/CEO Nova Southeastern University
Then the legislature and governor passed a law saying no school, government or business could require proof.
In May, Nova Southeastern announced they would comply by the letter and spirit of the law.
Now in July they are reversing themselves again.
Not good.
The article does not mention the presenting of proof.
CEO should be prosecuted for predatory behavior.
DeSantis should deny any state aid, including Bright Futures and pre paid state tuition programs from being used at the NSU. Announce it today so students can plan accordingly.
Private or public school?
>>Then the legislature and governor passed a law saying no school, government or business could require proof.
And what are the penalties for violating this law?
So if they force you to take the experimental drug and suffer side effects that prohibit you from attending can you sue?

(emphasis added)
By giving testimony regarding one's vaccination to the "Vax Max" portal, one is offering evidence of one's status...that would be considered as self-evident proof in a court of law, would it not?
They have a portal
Cal State (some or all of their 30 campuses) is requesting (voluntary) uploading of vaccine proof in order to step foot on campus
Private University on Broward county
Limitations on what the FL state government can do.
Can you sue them for an adverse reaction?
“Private or public school?”
Neither, are solutions.
They both sell you the same curriculum.
We aren’t “vouchering” are way out of this.

I don’t know. Does HIPAA enter into this?
All I know is I will not get the vax under any circumstances, but then I have no job to worry about.
