Students at Wesleyan College West Virginia will face a $750 non-refundable fee if they show up to campus unvaccinated or without proof of vaccination, the university has announced. The private liberal arts school in Buckhannon is encouraging all students, faculty and staff to get the shot before the school year begins in the fall.
Those who contract the virus during the upcoming fall semester, and are unable to return home, will be charged a $250 fee to quarantine on campus. Infected students will have 48 hours of free "contained housing" before becoming responsible for off-campus arrangements. "That fee is going to be used to cover the expenses that will come with increased testing and other resources that the college will have to utilize and deploy to keep every student safe," Dean James Moore told CBS affiliate WDTV.
