At least 13 NJ colleges, universities requiring COVID-19 vaccines
More than a dozen in-state colleges have now added COVID-19 to their list of required vaccinations for students returning to campus this fall, as The College of New Jersey announced its updated policy on Friday.
TCNJ also has started talks with the unions representing faculty and staff, with the intent of requiring vaccines of full-time, part-time and temporary workers on-campus, TCNJ President Kathryn Foster said in an online message. Students with valid medical reasons precluding vaccination, as well as those with established and sincerely held religious beliefs that preclude receipt of a vaccination, may request an exemption from the vaccine requirement, Foster also said, similar to the process announced by most other colleges adding the COVID-19 vaccine as a requirement.
Here are the N.J. colleges requiring students to be vaccinated

With the three COVID-19 vaccines now readily available for anyone over the age of 16, many universities in New Jersey are requiring their students to be vaccinated before the start of the 2021-22 school year.
Everyone in New Jersey age 16 and older became eligible for a vaccine on April 19 and many sites across the state are now accepting walk-ins for those who wish to get one, prompting several university officials to mandate vaccinations for students who live on campus or attend in-person classes.
The following universities have announced that they will require students who live on campus to be vaccinated:
The technique could be a powerful diagnostic tool for identifying hidden brain conditions before they become life-threatening, noted a team of researchers led by graduate student Itamar Terem of Stanford University in the
Magnetic Resonance in Imaging paper. Terem s group includes colleagues from Mātai Medical Research Institute in Gisborne-Tairawhiti, New Zealand; the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ; and the University of Auckland. The new method magnifies microscopic rhythmic pulsations of the brain as the heart beats to allow the visualization of minute piston-like movements, that are less than the width of a human hair, Terem said in a statement released by the Stevens Institute. The new 3D version provides a larger magnification factor, which gives us better visibility of brain motion, and better accuracy.

“As we begin the slow recovery back to normalcy, we must not allow people to cheat the system at the expense of others. Falsifying medical documents poses a serious risk to those around you, and it must be taken seriously,” Chiaravalloti said in a statement.
COVID-19 vaccine cards, which document the date that vaccinated people received their doses, the manufacturer of their vaccine and its batch number, are seen as a record of vaccination.
For colleges such as Rutgers University and Stevens Institute of Technology, students will not be allowed on campus in the fall without proof of vaccination.
