Illinois State University’s student government has endorsed the idea of requiring students to be vaccinated for COVID-19 if they want to attend classes next fall.
With only one “no” vote, the Student Government Association recently endorsed the resolution in support of mandatory vaccination for those physically attending classes in the fall, said Grant Chassy, who wrote and sponsored the measure.
“I’m not just lecturing you about my vote,” Chassy said at Wednesday night’s Academic Senate meeting, where he gave an overview of the resolution. “This is the overwhelming view of the students, and the body we’re all tasked to serve.”
