Alexis Knabe, Interim Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
FROM:
Daniel M. White, Chancellor   
RE:
Vaccination Requirement Request Approval - The Pub

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 request for a vaccination requirement for the following:

GUESTS FOR CERTAIN EVENTS HELD AT THE PUB

This approval gives The Pub the latitude to require vaccinations for certain events, namely ones where a performer is requesting that the audience be vaccinated or other events that might make social distancing difficult.

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:
