During a faculty council Q&A session, President A. Gabriel Esteban spoke to faculty regarding a Covid-19 vaccination process and expressed that it is not a priority for staff nor will the university require vaccination.
Thomas Mondeschean, a Faculty Council member from The Driehaus College of Business asked Esteban about the vaccination process of faculty, to which he responded it is “not such a big issue.”
The university’s president said he was mainly concerned about the vaccination process for students.
“Right now, there is no plan on forcing people to have vaccinations,” Esteban said.

Chapman University’s president says he cannot and will not fire a professor and former law school dean amid growing campus calls for action against the faculty member’s participation in a pro-Trump rally during which he made claims about election fraud on the day a violent mob stormed the Capitol.
“I am not the Emperor of Chapman University, nor am I the Supreme Leader of Chapman University. I am the President of the university, and as such, I am bound by laws and processes that are clearly spelled out in our Faculty Manual,” Daniele Struppa said in a statement.
A Chapman University law professor has come under fire for his election fraud claims and participation in a rally led by Trump just before the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
