Quinnipiac U. Punishes Unvaccinated Students with Fines, Loss of Internet Access

Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, will fine and cut the internet access of non-exempt students who fail to show proof that they have been vaccinated against the Chinese coronavirus. The university’s fines for unvaccinated students start at $100 a week and quickly escalate to $200 a week, or $2,275 for a full semester.

Students who don’t comply with the vaccine mandate will face a weekly fee starting at $100, which will increase by $25 after two weeks, and will cap out to a maximum fine of $200 per week, according to a report from the school’s student newspaper, the Quinnipiac Chronicle.

The fee can reach up to $2,275 for the entire semester, and the only way students can stop the fines will be to submit proof of their first vaccination shot.
