And I have cried, too. I'm not taking the shot, but the illogic and unethical nature of these mandates can't help one not to cry. So sad for her, but she'll make it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78526532 It's really sad. My daughter is facing a vaccine mandate to attend college. Thank goodness our state allows religious and philosophical exemptions. I'm worried the university administration is going to try and make it as miserable as possible for those with the exemptions though. Last Edited by Daniel Higdon on 09/08/2021 08:57 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80477651 Canada 09/08/2021 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I went to the same university. As I was saying to another fellow alumnus earlier today, they're playing a game of chicken, hoping that everyone will fold, or that at most they'll lose just a few employees and carry on with a slightly reduced staff. But the university won't survive if it is faced with a tidal wave of lawsuits seeking a quantum of damages for wrongful dismissal that could easily run in the hundreds of millions, if not billions. Unless the government bails them out (in Canada, the universities and community colleges receive tons of money in subsidies every year), they're toast. Professors aren't the only ones who are going to be filing lawsuits; many students will as well, because they are also being forced to get vaxxed to attend campus. I'm so pissed off about this that I'm tempted to burn my degree on campus and post the event on Youtube. |
