ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The University of New Mexico may require students and staff to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to return to campus in the fall.
The university on Monday posted a proposed vaccine requirement along with a statement on its plans to return to in-person instruction and regular campus activities.
The university said it was seeking comment on the proposed requirement. The proposal says the requirement would apply to students and staff “unless they have been granted a reasonable accommodation.
A New Mexico State University spokesman said NMSU officials encourage employees and staff to to get the vaccine but haven’t decided to impose a requirement.
The full board is expected to vote on the budgets next week.
Teresa Costantinidis, UNM’s senior vice president for Finance and Administration, said one reason for the decline in the main campus budget is that the university is being more cautious when estimating how much money it will make on housing, athletics and other revenue sources.
In the past, the athletic department, in particular, ran up a multi-million deficit over the course of years by overestimating its revenue and then overspending.
“We have much more conservative projections of revenues related to housing and dining and parking, and other activities, the book store, athletics, etc.,” Costantinidis said.
