Michael Jones discusses vaccination requirements for Illinois college students
April 6, 2021
Employment lawyer Michael Jones spoke with the Chicago Tribune Media Group about whether Illinois college students would be required to have the COVID-19 vaccine before returning to school in the fall. Jones expects most schools to adopt a middle-of-the-road approach, mandating vaccination for those living in dorms or attending in-person classes while continuing to offer remote options for students who don’t consent. “It’s a bit like a carrot and a stick,” Jones said. “The carrot of being allowed more freedom and more of a return to normal is what a lot of schools are going to look at as a way to encourage broad vaccination without having to put down a blanket mandate across the campus.”
