Davidson College will require COVID-19 vaccines for students, staff and faculty who participate in activities that present a high risk for transmission, which includes members of the Dining Services staff, officials announced Tuesday night.
Duke is the first Triangle-area university to require students, employees and visitors to resume mask-wearing indoors to prevent a resurgence of COVID-19.
Some colleges are expanding vaccine requirements or reimposing mask mandates in response to spread of Delta variant and new CDC guidance. Other institutions are finding their authority to mandate mitigation measures limited.
