Dear Colleagues,
As you have likely read in President Tim Killeen's earlier DDDH, the University of Illinois System is moving into this next phase of the pandemic with a requirement that students at all three campuses (Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield) receive a COVID-19 vaccine before the beginning of the Fall 2021 semester if they are able to do so.
We will be providing you soon with additional information and details about our plan toward this goal. At this time, I am sending this massmail to undergraduate and graduate students to share with them the principles that will guide the fall semester at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I will also share this information with this massmail to all faculty and staff.
Thank you for your continued patience and leadership as we navigate this next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Jones
Chancellor
