Rutgers University has lifted its COVID restrictions. As of Monday, the State University of New Jersey will no longer require student’s, faculty, staff, and affiliates to be immunized against COVID-19.
State Senator Declan O’Scanlon, a critic of the requirements said in a statement, “I’m glad Rutgers decided to join the rest of the enlightened world by finally lifting its COVID-19 vaccine requirement. This is something I have been calling for since last year.” O’Scanlon represents 16 municipalities in Monmouth County.
