You re listening to Utah Public Radio. I m Kerry Bringhurst. Joining me is Utah State University President Noelle Cockett, and we wanted to talk today about the increased opportunities for staff and employees to be immunized. And President Cockett, is that something that will be required of your staff and faculty?
NC: We are certainly not requiring the vaccination as a condition of employment or as a condition of registration for students. But every time we ve sent out opportunities for people to, you know, get a vaccination, there s been a lot of interest in that. I actually did have the opportunity to be vaccinated as a frontline responder because of the work that I ve done in our testing centers. So I actually had my second dose of Pfizer on Monday, got a little chill with a little bit of a fever, but by the next day felt really good. And it s a really wild feeling. I was thinking, “Well, you know, I m gonna come on campus more.”

In the joint review requested by the USU Board of Trustees and the state Board of Higher Education, the external investigators concluded that neither Cockett nor athletic Director John Hartwell “expressly stated that their ‘primary concern’ about Coach Maile was his religious or cultural background, nor that his background would disqualify him as a coaching candidate.”
Instead, investigators wrote that after interviewing 30 of the 53 athletes present in the meeting, as well as Cockett and Hartwell, they concluded that “the inclusivity concerns raised by Pres. Cockett were designed to promote a discussion with athletes about the degree to which they felt included and welcomed at Utah State.”
