On Feb. 16, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln announced it would open COVID-19 vaccine registration for all UNL employees, including student workers. As a student worker of the university myself, I was excited and eager to sign up for a vaccine.
After months of indecisive testing protocols and constantly shifting requirements, this action was refreshing. It was decisive. It was absolute.
But itâs not enough. Not quite yet.
I commend UNL on its dedication to securing vaccines for UNL staff members. When the time comes, it must use the same dedication and zeal toward acquiring vaccines for on-campus students. These students live in conditions that, despite the efforts of the UNL community, will always be problematic and prone to viral spread.Â

As some students return to the UC San Diego campus for in-person learning, the university is providing even more ways for them to complete their required weekly COVID-19 testing.
Nearly a dozen vending machines distributing free, self-administered COVID-19 test kits have been placed across campus near restaurants, gyms and resident halls in order for students and employees attending classes or living on-campus to complete their required weekly COVID-19 testing.
