Hundreds of college campuses in Democrat-led states will require students to get the coronavirus vaccine before returning to campuses this fall.
More than 340 private and public colleges across the United States have announced that students will be asked to get vaccinated to attend classes on campus, according to the real-time tracker maintained by the Chronicle of Higher Education. The majority of those campuses are located in Democratic states, with only 20 schools in red states adopting similar requirements. For instance, the California State University system teamed up with the University of California system last month to require all students, faculty, and staff who plan to study at any of the 33 schools’ campuses to get vaccinated. The policy will affect more than 1 million people.
