With back-to-school season here, questions about vaccine policies aren’t just being raised at the K-12 level. UC schools and Cal State campuses have established firm rules regarding vaccines. Students and faculty must submit proof of vaccination to have access to any and all on-campus facilities. But some individual community college districts aren’t enforcing a vaccine mandate. It’s a tale of two policies, and it’s unclear – to paraphrase Charles Dickens – if they’re indicative of an epoch of belief, or an epoch of incredulity.
