The Polytechnic University recently sent an email to teachers and students, urging students and faculty to get vaccinated as soon as possible. If teachers, students and staff do not complete the vaccination at the beginning of the new school year, they must provide the school with a weekly test report. If they are not vaccinated due to health reasons, It can be arranged through the university's health care department to conduct weekly tests free of charge.
The PolyU Student Union today (23) initiated a joint signature requesting the school to withdraw the arrangement, and strongly condemned the school’s approach, saying that the approach is no different from an infringement of personal autonomy, and the decision was arrogant and unreasonable, detrimental to the interests of teachers and students in the school.
City University’s approach is different from PolyU. The school has sent letters to teachers and students to encourage students and faculty members to be vaccinated against the new crown according to their personal circumstances, but emphasizes that universities are a gathering place for intellectuals and "not suitable for paternalistic governance."

Student Union: "Infringement of personal autonomy" by the school
The PolyU Student Union questioned in a joint sign that the school’s practice "infringes on the autonomy of the individual" stated that as of May 17, the Department of Health had received about 2,660 reports of abnormal incidents related to COVID-19 vaccination, and 20 people had died before 14 I have been vaccinated every day, which shows that vaccination has certain risks, and public worries are natural.
The co-signature stated that the school should reflect on the reasons for the low vaccination rate and should not use coercion and incentives to urge students and faculty members to vaccinate.
The Student Union also stated that the school ignores the opinions and free will of students and faculty members, and "pushes them into the abyss". "Even if campus users are to be protected, vaccination and testing are not the only methods."
The Student Union pointed out that it requires teachers and students to submit virus test reports to the school every week if they have not been vaccinated, which will increase the unnecessary financial burden of teachers and students. It asked whether the school is willing to compensate for this and questioned the school’s move for public health. , Or "follow the trend blindly."
