Cornell vaccine mandate only applies to white students | The College Fix

The Ivy League school offers a race-based exemption from its new mandatory flu shot, requiring only white students to get immunized before returning to the area.

Cornell started requiring flu immunizations this academic year for all students studying in Ithaca not just those attending classes in person enforced through the Behavioral Compact.

It s not to protect students from the flu, the FAQ reads, but so that medical services and other support resources can be fully available to serve students who may be exposed to COVID-19 (an infection that threatens very few of them).

So-called black, indigenous and people of color are welcome to tax Cornell health resources, however.

Seems kinda racist, especially for a semi- demi- hemi- state institution.
