TO: Nettie La Belle-Hamer, Interim Vice Chancellor for 鶹
FROM: Daniel M. White, Chancellor
RE: Vaccination Requirement Request Approval - HAARP AND POKER FLAT
ROCKET RANGE (Revised)
The 鶹 System policy states that vaccination requirements may only be made by exception and must be approved by the President at the request of the Chancellor.
I have received your requests for a vaccination requirement for the following:
ALL USERS OF HAARP AND/OR POKER FLAT ROCKET RANGE
Based on your request and President Pitney’s approval, I am herewith authorizing a vaccination requirement (with medical and non-medical-religious exemptions) for that purpose.
Please see the procedures laid out in the September 17, 2021 memo from Chief Human Resources Officer Bishko titled “Guidelines for Supervisors Regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations and Face Coverings” (https://sites.google.com/alaska.edu/coronavirus/general-info/updates). The memo has links to exemption forms for employees. Student exemptions are issued by the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities (non-medical), or the Student Health and Counseling Center (medical). The memo can be found at:
