Michigan university fines students over $60k for COVID testing non-compliance
Western Michigan University (WMU) has reportedly fined students $60,000 for missing weekly COVID tests.
"Hundreds of students" have been fined since Jan. 10, when mandated testing for the unvaccinated took effect. The total fees, $60,050.00, will be used to subsidize the university’s COVID testing costs, a WMU official told local news outlet News Channel 3.
Fully vaccinated students, those who do not have to participate in weekly testing, are counted as “14 days past their final dose and received a booster shot when eligible,” according to the university.
