When I was in Grade 8, I enrolled in Latin 1 “because,” my mother said, “you can’t get into university without Latin.” This view was corroborated by the school guidance counsellor and the parents of all my friends. Going to university was not a matter of discussion as far as my parents were concerned.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Monday that all state and city university of New York students will have to get a COVID-19 vaccination if they want to take in-person classes during the fall semester. The Democrat also announced other incentives to get more New Yorkers vaccinated, as the rate of those getting their shots continues to decline.
Cuomo says the SUNY and CUNY boards will vote to enact the requirement at their next meetings.
“So, today, no excuses. SUNY and CUNY boards will require vaccinations for all in-person students coming back to school in the fall,” the governor said. “You go to a SUNY school, State University of New York, City University of New York, you must have a vaccine to come back in September. If you must have a vaccine, get it now, if you have to get it anyway.”
