MARQUETTE — The Northern Michigan University Board of Trustees will guide the NMU administration to develop a plan by June 1 to incentivize achieving herd immunity for COVID-19 in the campus community for the coming fall semester.
Steve Young, vice chairman of the board, addressed the issue at the board’s regular meeting on Friday, noting that NMU has had low positivity rates.
“We really need to now look at that next level, now that vaccines are out there,” Young said. “They’re in ready supply. Access doesn’t appear to be an issue as it was a few weeks ago.”
