The University of Washington is the latest college in Washington state to announce a COVID-19 vaccine requirement for returning to campus in the fall.
CHENEY, Wash. - Eastern Washington University will not require students to get a COVID-19 vaccine to attend school this fall.
The announcement from EWU Interim President David May breaks with most, if not all, other major colleges in the state. In the spirit of transparency, we know that the decision to get vaccinated is not one that we can make for you, May told students in a letter posted on the school s website. There are good reasons, religious, medical, and philosophical, why someone may choose not to be vaccinated. And we have been clear that public health and safety is a responsibility that we all share and choosing to be vaccinated is how Eagles take care of one another and our

Interim President David May announced her death to the campus in a statement Monday. I don’t have any details to share, but it is a shock. It is the wishes of her family that no one reach out to them at this time, and the university will be respecting these wishes for privacy.
Cullinan was the university s 26th president and the first woman to fill that role. She was appointed in 2014 and was previously the president of Southern Oregon University. During her time as president, the university expanded its footprint in Spokane, with the energy neutral Catalyst Building and the EWU Spokane Campus.

Interim President David May informed the campus of her sudden passing Monday.
“I don’t have any details to share, but it is a shock,” May said.
Cullinan, who was the university’s first female president, stepped down from the role in August 2020 following a vote of no confidence by the faculty senate. She retained a position in the English department, but in October announced she would take a nine-month sabbatical.
The cause of her death has not been announced and May asked that the community respect her family’s privacy at this time.
