TO:                 Nettie La Belle-Hamer, Vice Chancellor for Research
FROM:         Daniel M. White, Chancellor
RE:                  Vaccination Requirement Request Approval - Ӱ Satellite Facility

The University of Ӱ System policy states that vaccination requirements may only be made by exception and must be approved by the President at the request of the Chancellor.

I have received your request for a vaccination requirement for the following:

Ӱ FACULTY, STAFF AND STUDENTS EMPLOYED BY THE ALASKA SATELLITE FACILITY.

Based on your request and President Pitney’s approval, I am herewith authorizing a vaccination requirement (with medical and non-medical-religious exemptions) for that purpose.

Please see the procedures laid out in the September 17, 2021 memo from Chief Human Resources Officer Bishko titled “Guidelines for Supervisors Regarding COVID-19 Vaccinations and Face Coverings”.  The memo has links to exemption forms for employees.  Student exemptions are issued by the Center for Student Rights and Responsibilities (non-medical), or the Student Health and Counseling Center (medical).  The memo can be found at:
