We have a responsibility to protect the health of our students, faculty, and staff. We should be following the best available scientific advice about how to deal with the highly infectious Delta variant.

The cases of Covid are rising and also more kids are hospitalized due to Delta variant. Since the long effects of covid are still under research, the vaccine rate is still low and breathing in air when close to an infected person is one of the main reason to get the Covid, wearing the mask is very important and helpful to protect the kids. Please make masks mandated!

Both the Miami county and Palm beach county public schools have required mandentory mask wearing policies. Ad Hendenson administration should do the same thing following the simple science fact.

Follow the science, not the politics. Miami school superintendent, Alberto M. Carvalho, has set an example to follow: Protect students and others.

As an alumni and someone who has and plans to conduct future research at FAU I support this petition. Additionally, as a visitor to campus I would like the campus to be safe for the entire and extended FAU community.

Way past time for the FAU Administration to start paying attention to the lives and health of the people whose work makes FAU work. And thanks to the faculty union!

FAU should be providing the leadership needed to uphold science and protect the FAU community.

Should FAU refuse to implement scientifically validated and CDC-approved medical safety measures, including vaccine passports, mandatory masking, and social distancing, then faculty, staff, students, visitors, and other stakeholders may reserve the right to hold the Administration at FAU, the Florida University System, and the State Government of Florida joint and severally liable for all costs and damages associated with Covid-related illnesses, deaths, and disabilities, in themselves and family members, stemming from Covid infection while on campus or satellite facilities. In addition, all affected faculty and staff may be entitled to file Workers Compensation claims related to work-related Covid disabilities. Students may request tuition refunds and/or litigate for damages stemming from interruption of their education and resultant adverse effects on future career goals.

The university requires vaccination for Measles, Rubella, Meningococcal Meningitis and Hepatitis B. If these are important, how can Covid-19 not be important? Students can opt out of vaccinations with medical reason. I had a student in my office last week who cannot come to classes on campus because of compromised immunity system. Who looks out for his safety? We have faculty and students with small children they need to protect. The SUS should decide that every SUS school needs to require vaccinations. The State Colleges should decide the same. Every school board should also require vaccinations. The governor can then spend his time trying to punish a hundred or more entities that have acted responsibly.

If the administration wants everyone back on campus, at the very least they need to do whatever is in their power to protect faculty and students.

FAU should take the steps recommended by the CDC to protect students, faculty, staff, our families, friends, and communities.

I'm mystified that we should need a petition to be protected adequately from a health crisis of epic proportions.

At the very least, requiring masks indoors is an obvious necessity.
