El Paso colleges will not require students to be vaccinated to attend school in person in the fall.
Several colleges and universities across the nation have said they will require that students get a COVID-19 vaccine before returning to campuses in the fall, but this has not yet spread to most Texas colleges.
On April 5, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced a ban on state agencies and other taxpayer-funded entities from requiring vaccine passports or requiring individuals to disclose their COVID-19 vaccination status to receive services in Texas. The governor s ban was made through Executive Order No. GA-35.
