Western Oregon University announced Monday that it will require immunizations for all campus students and employees this fall.
WOU is the latest public university in Oregon to make such an announcement. Similar calls were made by both Portland State University and Oregon State University last week.
WOU President Rex Fuller announced the vaccination requirement at a student meeting in town hall on Monday morning.
The decision to do this really ties in with the idea that we should be able to have a safe community with as many vaccines going through our community, "Fuller said in the virtual meeting," but also, the notion that we know that being together in face-to-face encounters with careful safety planning, we have a better educational experience for all of our students, faculty, and staff. ”
Fuller said the university is in the middle of clarifying the details of its vaccination requirement. That planning, he said, will take place over several months and will include input from the campus community.
"We're announcing the requirement, but a lot of the details are still unfinished, and that's because we need to speak to our community," WOU Vice President and General Counsel Ryan Hagemann said Monday.
Hagemann said that the university will accept some immunization exemptions, the details of which are still being worked out.
“I will say that learning from the other public universities in the state, and basically from Oregon law, there will be some exemptions and adaptations integrated into the vaccine requirements program. … We just want to be able to investigate that and do it well ”, he said.
The university will also offer an incentive to students who get vaccinated: a $ 25 voucher to use on textbooks, supplies, or whatever they choose from the student bookstore.
“My hope is that this incentive program encourages WOU students to get vaccinated and rewards those who have already done so. It is important that we do our part to support herd immunity in our Wolf community, "Student Government President NJ Johnson said in a statement." We encourage students to get vaccinated as soon as possible so that the second one is completed. doses before the end of the spring period. "
