No vax? Fine, that'll be $750.


Here's an interesting approach being taken by a college in West Virginia:

Students who do not submit a proof of vaccination or who are not vaccinated will be charged a non-refundable $750 Covid fee for the Fall 2021 semester. The fee will be charged to all students who have not provided a proof of vaccination (full vaccination or first shot toward vaccination) by September 7.

Students who do not submit a proof of vaccination status or who are not vaccinated will be required to undergo weekly surveillance testing. This testing will be conducted by WVWC officials. The cost will be covered by the Covid Fee charged to all unvaccinated students.

Sounds like a workaround. Maybe they are prohibited from requiring Covid vaccinations for all students. But that doesn't mean that the smart ones should pay for the dumb ones' testing.  (Via UO Matters.)
