Rhodes College announced it will charge a fee for non-vaccinated students returning to campus.

Upon returning to campus, students who have not received a COVID-19 vaccine will be charged a $1,500 per semester Health & Safety fee to cover the costs of mandatory testing, according to a release from the college.

The way I understood the fee was:it's to modify instructural areas to compensate and keep the staff and those who aren't innoculated from contracting or spreading it. Should they be carriers. I could be misreading the guidelines from the standard memo released to advise students of the colleges active compliance to serve all with modifications.

My workplace is choosing to let the employee decide . And then proceeds to give them instructions on what protective gear and areas they may or may not enter.
Being upfront about it let's the team know to regard the choices and respect the policy..

That's stupid.

People afraid of STUPID-19 should mask-up, Social Distance® and drench themselves in sanitizer every 30 minutes, or better yet, hide in their mom's basement.

Why shouldn’t colleges have the freedom to charge unvaccinated students extra?

Are you against freedom?
