The newly adopted rule requires vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella, chicken pox, meningococcal disease and hepatitis B, but does not mandate vaccinations for influenza or COVID-19.
This virtual meeting’s agenda items include a student immunization rule and the UT Knoxville Student Code of Conduct.
UT’s contributions were recently recognized by AUTM’s Better World Project, which named the UT Research Foundation as its 2020 Legend Award honoree.
The University of Tennessee Board of Trustees will hold a rulemaking hearing on March 8 regarding the UT Knoxville student code of conduct.
“We continue to diligently monitor the situation across the state to make adjustments in the best interest of our students, faculty and staff,” said UT President Randy Boyd.
