Around the country, colleges divided sharply last year on whether to require vaccination. That split endures.
In the Washington region, indoor mask policies vary in detail from one campus to another. How much the rules will be followed, and how closely they will be enforced, remains to be seen.
Howard University said its faculty may require masks for individual classes. The University of Maryland said masks are mostly optional but, as of Friday, it had not yet decided whether to require them during classes. George Mason University, in Northern Virginia, saidAt Trinity Washington University, masks are required indoors. Patricia McGuire, president of the Catholic women’s college, said the campus community has supported the mandate.
“Throughout the pandemic Catholic University has implemented COVID protocols that have both aligned with DC and CDC guidelines, and that have worked best for our community,” Karna Lozoya, vice president for university communications, said in a statement. “We have successfully navigated this pandemic for two years, and we will continue to actively monitor COVID as well as other health threats as they emerge.
GWU officials said their public health protections were geared toward providing the most wide-open campus experience since fall 2019.
