Western University says staff and students returning to campus next month will be required to wear masks in classrooms and have at least one booster dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
The London, Ont., university has issued an updated policy that requires a booster dose — usually equivalent to a third shot — for students, employees and visitors to its campus.It says students living in residence who do not have a booster before they arrive will be offered a two-week grace period and “easy access” to a campus vaccination clinic.
Western also says masks will be required in instructional spaces, except when people can remain two metres apart. The university says it will reassess after the Thanksgiving weekend, “with the goal to lift the mask mandate as soon as possible.” The policy comes weeks after the University of Toronto announced it would require those living in residences to have a booster shot, and recommended all others keep their vaccinations up to date.to read the day’s essential coronavirus news, features and explainers written by Globe reporters and editors.

Well my kids won't be attending Western 🤷
power and punishment of free thinkers
Another reason to rethink post secondary school and try out trades.
criminals. Knowing what those injections do to our young generation... this university is criminal.
What is higher? The extra government funding they are getting by making this decision, or the amount of donation money they will lose from alumni? Once an alumni stops their yearly donation, they likely will never donate again. Short term gain for long term pain, UWO.
Western can F right off with this. Our kids are not at risk, period.
This isn’t about a virus. This is authoritarianism.
Get the fuck out of here 🤣🤣🤣
Well, there a school to avoid. What a joke.
All government funding needs to be stopped to these schools immediately. They have no authority to go against PH. It’s absolutely ludicrous. When most kids are already in their way to the school and have paid tuition. It’s outright criminal. It needs to stop
🤡🌎
Just one more reason not to send your kids to university. Better to go into the trades.
I can’t believe they are taking this stance 2 weeks before school starts. What happened to choice?
Wow! They really want people to die
You should wait for a BA.1 or a BA.5 vaccine. But I guess educated people can’t weigh their own risks and consequences.
And they should. Any school that gets government funding should do the same.
It’s not about education anymore.
I just got on the crowded shoulder to shoulder City Bus with 50 plus people for the 500th time during the pandemic, and no one has said a thing or showed any fear. Strange, Planes, Trains and Western University are high risk zones though. Cute. 👌🤡🌍
Guess whose being bankrolled by Pfizer and modena
Good
Wow, those poor kids.
Good on them!
Won't need a reminder to never send my kid there when the day comes. That was easy.
Yeah! Great news!!!
Not the best school choice if you want to study Science…. Or tell the truth I guess… 😑
More and more it’s obvious our universities have failed. Absolutely ridiculous.
How would you feel safe in your liberal arts classes if everyone around you wasn't double boosted?
Well there’s a university to avoid at all costs. No ability to think out of a paper bag.

WTAF?!? That would be the day I succumbed to this nonsense. What a joke!

Hmm, now that school is the new religious institution, what should become the new school?
Excellent. There will be a huge surge in Covid cases as soon as schools get back in session. This makes complete sense. Cue the freedumb-riders.
'Western University mandating booster dose, masks in return to campus' Western Alumnus Sflecce Minister of Education without any children of his own to send anywhere, let alone masked...will not be pleased!🤦♀️
