    VP Update April 23

    | by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

    This week, former police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty by a Minneapolis jury on all three charges for the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. For many of us, the verdict marked a necessary though rare example of accountability for an act of lethal violence against a Black person in this country.  But the verdict will not restore Mr. Floyd to his family, nor will it bring back the other Black people killed by police before or subsequent to Mr. Floyd’s murder; people like 20-year-old Daunte Wright, shot to death during a traffic stop in Minneapolis just last week, even as the Chauvin trial neared its conclusion.

    The COVID vaccine is now widely available. We expect that by the start of the fall semester, all faculty, staff, and students returning to campus will be vaccinated, except those who have a religious or medical exemption. This is to provide the best possible protection for our entire community.
