Chancellor Rebecca Blank released a press release Thursday regarding expectations for the 2021 fall semester, including information on campus operations and COVID-19 guidelines.
Blank said the university is optimistic about high vaccination rates among staff and in Dane County as well as the decrease in the county’s overall COVID-19 cases since their peak in Nov.
The university is aiming for an approximately 80% vaccination rate for students this fall, according to the press release, and will continue to offer free vaccination to students who are not yet vaccinated. It will, however, be the students’ choice to share their vaccination status with UW.

Fantastic Mr. Fox, he is not.
Late last month, an adult badger became disoriented after tunneling into a high-security ammunition compound in England, prompting what the Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital (WWH), a local charity, described as an anxious call from the army. The country s Ministry of Defense stated that the purpose of the call had been to have the badger humanely capture[d] and remove[d] from the premises, according to the BBC.
WWH Wildlife Care Supervisor Marilyn Korkis was seemingly unfazed by the request. You won t deter a determined badger, she told the BBC, describing the animals as strong and incredible diggers.
