Thank You CSU President Sands!

President Harlan M. Sands, Cleveland State University
Dear President Sands,
Our granddaughter starts Cleveland State next month, and we want you to know how pleased we are that the university is requiring returning students living on campus to be vaccinated, unless they have a valid exemption for religious or medical reasons.
This action will clearly make for a safer and more productive learning environment for her to start her college years, after the uncertain and frightening experience she has endured since COVID-19 first hit us all.
Your action also exemplifies bold leadership that puts the health and welfare of the students first, in spite of ill-advised societal and political pressures on leaders in positions like yours that quite frankly just miss the point.
Thank you so much for doing the right thing and for your leadership at a time when it is most critical.
Sincerely yours,
Joan and Arthur Hargate
