The son of a school administrator from Media was excited to start classes at Millersville University, until he learned that a roommate hadn’t been vaccinated and didn’t plan on it.
So he asked the university in Lancaster County for a vaccinated roommate, which it said it couldn’t guarantee but assigned him to another room, according to his father, who asked that their names not be published for fear of backlash. That roommate also turned out to be unvaccinated. So the university offered a private room in an area with upperclassmen, but the father said at that point his son withdrew and enrolled at a private university in New York that has a vaccine mandate for students.
“We thought we had no choice,” the father said. “We had to go somewhere else. That’s what the last year and a half has been about, trying to protect ourselves.”
...
Other area universities said that they also have received requests from parents of vaccinated students to have their children with the same but that the number has been low. For the most part, they are telling students they must go through the same process for a roommate change as those who want them for other reasons.

...Liam Cunningham, 18, of Narberth. He said he planned to ask his roommates if they are vaccinated, and if they aren’t, he may ask for a room change.
“It would make me feel safer to be in a condensed space with people who are vaccinated,” the computer-science major said...
His mother wasn’t overly concerned about the roommates’ status.
“The likelihood of him getting sick to the point of having to be hospitalized at his age with a vaccination is so minimal that it’s probably more dangerous going to a fraternity party,” she said.

And then there is always this...IF YOUR CHILD HAD THE SHOT WHY ARE YOU WORRIED?
For once, school administrators seem to be handling this correctly - "sort this out yourselves."
the vaccinated SHED disease.
Americans mask:
does each “Vaccine” [DNAoperatingSystem du jour]
shed different spike proteins, so that a conference
room is like a Xiden ice cream cone with jimmies?
A vaccinated super spreader is afraid of an unvaccinated person. Ironic, but deeply telling.
The propaganda worked well on the young in this article, it seems.
“ We thought we had no choice,” the father said. “We had to go somewhere else. That’s what the last year and a half has been about, trying to protect ourselves.”

Of course you had a choice and you exercised that choice by getting your kid vaccinated. You just don’t want others to be free to make their independent choice if it differs from yours.
Again, this administrator at Temple gets it right:
“Our best guidance from our medical professionals, taking into account CDC guidelines, is that housing unvaccinated students together in one setting could increase the chances of an outbreak should an individual test positive for COVID-19,” he said. “Also, from an equity and inclusion perspective, we are concerned that housing unvaccinated students in separate spaces could stigmatize that population.”
It's like holding a chicken pox party. Let them all get sick and immune. College students has been swapping all kinds of whatever for decades with few fatalities. They'll survive this bug, too.
It’s just a coincidence that a large part of the dim strategy is divide and conquer.
Sending a kid to college now is sending them off to indoctrination camps anyway for the most part so why send them.
There are some colleges that aren’t corrupt and definitely the majority of tech schools that teach an actual skill vice some useless liberal arts BS degree in gender studies.
Vaxxed VS unvaxxed roommates is not a concern to those who understand science. It’s only a concern for the sheep and their herders.
Yup. And the misinformation in one of the antivaxxer statement above on this very thread is equally as much propaganda. I found six errors in an approximately 30 word statement. One lie in every five words is impressive!
But to your point why isn’t the kid taking a stand. It worries me when the father says they had no choice. Kid isn’t going to college. He is still being controlled by chad and Karen.
I bet this father would likely but quietly/without calling the press, ask for a white affluent roommate if Johnny was paired with a black dude in New York.
But if he’s vaccinated it shouldn’t matter if his roommate isn’t because he’s protected, right? That’s why you get the jab, right?
Meningetitus and influenza are much more deadly diseases for the 18-24yr old cohort than Covid.
wonder what would happen if they asked about aids or other std’s...
Wonder if they ask if vaxxed before screwing each other at drunken frat parties?
If you go to Temple, you should be worried about ghetto blacks way more than Covid.
For the same reason people go though obstacle courses or study for exams.
The reality, of course, is college is about negotiating the landscape and learning. That includes obtaining life skills like how much booze can you consume before you become a jackwad, should you smoke weed, are jocks really that stupid, can I go to class hungover, should I dip Skoal or Copenhagen, what's it like to date a goth girl with a tattoo, and should you ALWAYS avoid Springsteen fans?
Shielding kids from reality is like how Australia and New Zealand handled the virus. Yes, parents should be discerning - some colleges are outright hostile to freedom and should be avoided - but unless their kids are going to live in a cave, they have to face society. In the real world, they'll encounter racism, sexism, other isms, and political pressures at work. Shielding kids from thag will make the experience when it really counts at work a disaster.
And college need not be one-sided. There ARE student groups, fraternities, and even clusters of friends that aren't all wokey. And, for what it's worth, a big confidence builder is getting into a discussion about whatever and testing out arguments, theories, and seeing what works and doesn't work.
There are LOTS of problems with universities and higher education today, and trades may be a better option for many people. But Americans have never shied away from a good fight. Now is not the time to surrender to Pajama Boy.
I am trying to cry.
How did this "son of a school administrator" learn about the protected health information (PHI) of his roommate? According to HIPAA, such information is sensitive and not to be divulged except to authorized personnel.
Precisely...and I never heard of some parent calling the Inquirer if their daughter’s roommate had a religious objection to either of those shots. But now, well.....this is the plague don’t you know?
Of course I haven’t been in college in more than half a century, but as an old guy, I’m much more concerned about the people who’ve had the Clot Shot than those who have not.
