Following a Legislative Commission decision Tuesday not to approve a permanent COVID-19 vaccination mandate, schools began removing holds on student registrations.
The federal lawsuit filed this week argues that both the vaccination mandate and a requirement that unvaccinated workers be tested for COVID-19 are unconstitutional.
The Nevada System of Higher Education reported a 92 percent compliance rate with the mandate, but said termination notices have already been sent to most who didn’t.
Nevada State Higher Education system officials said they hadn’t yet compiled records from individual colleges and universities and don’t know how many complied with the mandate.
Nevada’s higher education system will require employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, with a Dec. 1 target date for implementation.
The State Board of Health voted unanimously Friday to approve the requirement for the state’s public colleges and universities.
The State Board of Health will hold an emergency meeting at 9 a.m. Friday and members of the public can tune in via phone or Zoom video conferencing.
