President Joe Biden was elected on a platform of sweeping gun control measures, describing gun violence as a “public health epidemic” during the campaign.
But he has made limited progress on that front due to his party’s razor-thin congressional majorities.
“We need a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Don’t tell me it can’t be done,” Biden said in his first address to a joint session of Congress. “We did it before, and it worked.”
With the Senate deadlocked 50-50 and gun legislation subject to the filibuster, effectively creating a 60-vote threshold for passage, and the Democrats barely clinging on to a majority in the House, Biden has had to turn to executive actions to advance his priorities on gun policy.
After a year of disruptions driven by the coronavirus pandemic, colleges are ready for a return to normalcy. For some schools, that means requiring students to receive COVID-19 vaccinations in order to register for in-person classes or move into campus housing.
As of publication, a database maintained by the Chronicle of Higher Education indicates that more than 360 public and private colleges across the U.S. will require students to get a coronavirus vaccine, and experts expect more schools to follow suit.
In addition to individual colleges announcing vaccine mandates, some large university systems are also requiring immunization, such as the State University of New York system. Others, such as the 23-campus California State University system, plan to adopt mandates pending full approval by the Food and Drug Administration of at least one coronavirus vaccine.
