This study looks closely at the experience of 30 colleges and universities in North America about their experience with mask mandates, vaccine mandates, COVID-Testing mandates and various social distancing measures. It gives highly detailed data on the percentage of colleges in the sample with various mandates and on the number of students complying and the number who have been disenrolled for non-compliance. The study also defines the number of colleges staging indoor theatricals and concerts, and the number staging various kinds of sporting events. Survey participants give their views on the extent of compliance and what might be done to assure compliance. Surveying was conducted in September 2021.
Just a few of this 63-page report’s many findings are that:
- 40% of colleges sampled had a vaccine mandate
- A mean of 84.11% of students wear masks while in the academic library.
- Private colleges in the sample had disenrolled a mean of 11.92 students for non-compliance with a vaccine mandate.
- Public colleges had many more students in quarantine than did private colleges.
- Satisfaction with compliance with social distancing requirements was low. Only 3.33% felt faculty and students’ compliance was highly adequate and 10% said adequate.
Data in the report is broken out by size and type of college, by tuition level, for public and private colleges, and for variables such as the percentage of students living in school supplied dormitories and extent of current use of online education. Thirty colleges from the USA and Canada contributed data and commentary for the study.
