Goldman said she has heard from parents and Milken faculty members advocating for officials to institute a vaccine requirement for the fall.
GW’s top public health official signaled her support for requiring students to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to return to campus this fall, as officials continue weighing reopening metrics for next semester.
Milken Institute School of Public Health Dean Lynn Goldman, who advises administrators on the University’s COVID-19 response, said at a Faculty Senate meeting Friday that a vaccine requirement would make it “easier” to manage classrooms and for students to have a more normal campus experience. University President Thomas LeBlanc said administrators are continuing “active discussions” but have not made a final decision about requiring vaccinations.
