We are nearly 400 days into the COVID-19 pandemic, and the situation is starting to look up in the United States. Vaccine supplies are increasing, school campuses are reopening and life is slowly returning back to normal.
However, the virus still exists, and as universities across the U.S. contemplate procedures for the fall 2021 semester, the question of how to safely restore college campuses to pre-pandemic ânormalcyâ is controversial.
Many colleges remain divided over the issue of a vaccine requirement. Yet there are undeniable benefits that can arise from a vaccinated student population and campus community. As a large state school, the University of Georgia should consider implementing a vaccine requirement starting next fall.
The University of Georgiaâs College Republicans hosted Vernon Jones, who recently announced a bid for governor of Georgia, Wednesday evening. Jones is set to challenge Gov. Brian Kemp in 2022.
Jones has an extensive history as a Democratic politician in Georgia. He served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1993 to 2001 as a Democrat, then later from 2017 to 2021 as a Democrat. He also served as DeKalb Countyâs chief executive officer from 2001 to 2009.
He has unsuccessfully run for offices in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. In 2014, he unsuccessfully ran for DeKalb County Sheriff.
In January 2021, he announced his party switch from Democrat to Republican. Jones said heâs âalways been very conservativeâ as a Democrat. He mentioned previous politicians who also switched parties, among them former President Ronald Reagan, former Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal and former Georgia Gov. and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue
