Any student or faculty members that aren't vaccinated will be forced to take a weekly COVID-19 test.
Meanwhile, a mask mandate remains in force for anyone on campus who has yet to be vaccinated.
Critics and supporters of the university's decision voiced their opinions on social media, with the critics drastically outweighing the supporters.
'I hope those students will choose to take their money elsewhere for their education!' Marilyn Pence commented on Facebook under the news outlet's post.
