The DePaulia

DePaul announced via Blue Mail on Friday that fully vaccinated individuals will no longer be required to wear masks on campus starting June 14.
This comes after Illinois and Chicago entered Phase 5 of the reopening plan on Friday, which includes all businesses operating at full capacity.
“Starting Monday, June 14, fully vaccinated individuals who are on campus will be highly encouraged though not required to wear a face mask indoors,” DePaul’s email read. “Individuals who have not been vaccinated are expected to wear a mask at all times.”
The CDC’s updated guidelines advise that fully vaccinated individuals will no longer have to wear masks indoors or outdoors with other vaccinated individuals. The CDC also advises that unvaccinated individuals should continue to wear masks indoors and outdoors.

DePaul among first Illinois colleges to mandate Covid-19 vaccine for returning students
Sonal Soni, Assistant News Editor|April 21, 2021
DePaul President A. Gabriel Esteban announced Wednesday in a campus-wide email that Covid-19 vaccines will be required for students returning to campus this fall term.
Prior to this announcement, DePaul was not requiring students to be vaccinated before returning to campus this fall. DePaul Health Sciences professor and member of the school’s Covid-19 task force, Craig Klugman, told The DePaulia that there were obstacles preventing DePaul from mandating its students receive the Covid-19 vaccine.
Klugman previously said that the school could not require students to be vaccinated before returning to campus unless the Covid-19 vaccines were FDA approved. Currently, the Covid-19 vaccines in use have been granted emergency authorization by the FDA; however, they are not fully authorized. Esteban’s announcement reversed this stance.
