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 faculty and staff at all three universities (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.
Later today, I plan to send this massmail to all faculty and staff about how our university plans to operationalize this new guidance.
Thank you for your continued patience and leadership as we navigate this next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Jones
Chancellor
