More than 600 of the approximately 4,000 U.S. colleges and universities have imposed some type of COVID-19 vaccine mandate with the fall semester coming up, the Associated Press reported.
Hundreds of colleges nationwide have told students in recent months they must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 before classes begin. In many GOP-led states, school leaders face political pressure to limit their anti-virus actions even among students who live in packed residence halls. Opponents say the requirements tread on personal freedoms.
Private colleges like these have more legal leeway regarding coronavirus rules, experts say. Prominent private universities mandating student vaccinations include Harvard, Yale, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Duke and Stanford. "Especially a state university, going against the prevailing political view is probably going to be short-lived," Reiss said.
