Now if you’re an unvaccinated student attending Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, you won’t have access to your school’s WiFi system.
According to The Daily Wire:
Connecticut’s Quinnipiac University announced that it will impose fines and WiFi restrictions on students who cannot, or will not, provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccination by the beginning of the fall semester.
The university imposed mandatory vaccination for students and staff returning to on-campus learning. In an email sent to students, school leadership stated that approximately 600 students have yet to fulfill the vaccination mandates, or at least they have yet to upload a copy of their COVID-19 vaccination record.
Quinnipiac University has imposed strict fines for students who fail to upload their proof of vaccination. Charges could rack up to $2,275 per person per semester. The university also announced a tiered fine system. Fees start at $100 per week for the first two weeks of the semester. The fees increase incrementally by $25 every two weeks proof of vaccination is not on file. The maximum fine imposed per week is $200.
Unvaccinated students are required to participate in “weekly, on-campus testing.” Failure to comply with the testing guidelines will result in a $100 fine.
The email also announced that unvaccinated students — presumably not students who have been given a medical or religious exemption by the university — will lose access to the university’s WiFi system if they do not meet the vaccination requirements by September 14.
I’ve always said that I don’t care if you’ve had the vaccine or not. That’s your own private decision based on what works best for you. That’s how it should be.
What I don’t appreciate is the discrimination against those who haven’t gotten the vaccine.
This school is telling students that they can’t use the WiFi at the school library (or wherever else) to study or write papers?
I understand that the school instituted mandatory vaccines for students to attend classes in-person. Fine. Unvaccinated students can participate in online classes.
What if these online students don’t have WiFi in their homes or apartments?
For a pricetag of almost $70,000 to live on campus before aid (and almost $50,000 off-campus), you shouldn’t have to go to Starbucks to do your homework.
This is still an experimental drug. When it gains approval from the FDA, then it will be just like any other vaccine that you have to have to gain entry into these schools.
Until then, this is wrong.
