²ÝÁñÉçÇø

Dec. 9, 2021

Dear staff and faculty,

Last month, UA President Pitney communicated a change in Ìýas a result of President Biden’s executive order. Since that Nov. 2 communication, UA HR has sent additional emails to ²ÝÁñÉçÇø employees regarding COVID-19 vaccination requirements.

As you may know, earlier this week a federal district court in Georgia issued a nationwide injunction that blocks implementation of President Biden’s executive order that created the federal contractor COVID-19 vaccine mandates. President Pitney is working with legal counsel and others to determine the impacts of this injunction on ²ÝÁñÉçÇø’s Troth Yeddha’ employee vaccine requirement.Ìý

Please be patient as this issue is worked out. I expect a UA-wide message to come from the president in this regard in the coming day or two.

Thanks for choosing ²ÝÁñÉçÇø.Ìý

— Dan White, chancellor
