US colleges will require students to be vaccinated, despite state policies:

A growing number of US colleges have said all students must be fully vaccinated before returning to campus, in a move likely to anger some state governors. At least 14 colleges have said vaccination will be required so far, according to a CNN tally, and that number is expected to grow.

In late March Rutgers University became one of the first institutions to declare that having all students vaccinated will allow for an "expedited return to pre-pandemic normal."

Cornell, Brown, Notre Dame, Northeastern, Syracuse, Ithaca and Fort Lewis have made similar announcements, though all will make exceptions for medical or religious reasons. Cornell has also created an online registration tool so students and staff can register their vaccination status.

Two colleges, St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, and Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Broward, Florida, have gone a step further, requiring students and all campus employees to be vaccinated.

NSU's policy puts it on a collision course with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. After NSU's announcement on April 1 DeSantis signed an executive order stating that vaccines are available but not mandated. Crucially the order prohibits any government entity or business from requiring a vaccine passport. NSU said Thursday that it is reviewing the executive order.

    That's why there's more emphasis on "groupwork" nowadays, 1 or 2 good students do all the work and the Chinese students sit on their asses and do jack shit, and if you complain about it you will be labeled a racist or creating a hostile atmosphere blah blah. I'm not talking out of my ass to be trollish, myself and others I know have personally dealt with this situation.

    Don't think that you'll get away from that nonsense in a master's program and/or in Ivy League schools -- they're now doing all that nonsense in those situations, too. In the next few years we'll probably see hiring managers prioritizing certain education graduation years over others, on the sly, because once upon a time degrees were earned and not given. This is of course a result of the Chinese and the Jewish for taking over American education. And for the diversity situation, of course, just lie if you don't have any diversity in you. Not like they'll make you take DNA tests* for hiring or admissions...YET.

    * As I mentioned in another post, vaccinations in the past have also been used as DNA collection programs for the CIA, with Osama Bin Laden as an example. "hurr durr why oh why isn't anybody taking our vaccines despite our multimillion dollar ad campaigns targeted towards minorities?!

    True. I was in a class with Ethanol_fueled, and he never did squat. Not surprising the Boston Dynamics canned his ass for engineering incompetence, and anti-asian bigotry. Poor guy is approaching, what, 30 now? Unemployed, in Greenland? Of course, at least Andre the Giant had some skills.
