Hi Chris,
My understanding is that yesterday Dr. Henry said it is up to each university/college to set their standards above and beyond provincial health orders.
I didn't hear this myself, but here's the link to Liza Yuzda's reporting.
Best, Baharak

Sent: July 29, 2021 11:11 AM To: academic-discussion@sfu.ca Subject: Re: on another point: : Without mandatory vaccines, more campus shutdowns are inevitable Regarding frustration with the university's lack of a vaccine requirement: my understanding, which might be incorrect, is that SFU must follow provincial direction on any vaccine mandate. That direction comes from the Ministry of Health and the Min. of
Adv. Education, or whatever it's called these days.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
So if faculty and staff want to pressure the university to implement a vaccine requirement, pressure would have to be applied to the university and to the relevant levels of government.
Such requirements are common in the US.
Best
Chris
