The University of Michigan is putting in place strict vaccination compliance measures for faculty and staff at all three of its campuses after five weeks of higher positive case numbers seen in these populations compared to the student population. Beginning Nov. 8, any staff member without an exemption that has not begun their vaccination process will not be allowed to work or receive pay for a 30-day period, and any staff member still unvaccinated by Dec. 8 will be terminated. Faculty have until the end of the semester to comply before facing sanctions.
