Updated 7:20 PM Oregon’s public and private institutions of higher learning are diverging on whether to require COVID-19 vaccinations for students returning to campus this fall. Two private colleges have announced vaccination mandates in the past week but public universities are demurring. Last Thursday, the same day Lewis & Clark College announced that its students must be vaccinated against COVID-19, Willamette University in Salem issued the same mandate except its new policy also requires employees be vaccinated. Willamette University students and employees will have to record their vaccination information on online portals. Similarly to Lewis & Clark students, Willamette will allow exemptions for either medical or non-medical reasons and the university will evaluate each request on a case by case basis, their website states.
