Michigan universities push vaccine policies amid partial mandates
Michigan public universities move toward vaccine requirements with the University of Michigan Dearborn mandating vaccination proof or weekly testing, and UM Ann Arbor plus Oakland University requiring vaccines for on campus housing. A large petition seeks a campus wide mandate at UM Ann Arbor, while student leaders push education and outreach including a People of Color Impact Task Force. Wayne State offers a $10 credit to vaccinated students, and officials note varied plans as campuses weigh mandates.
