WSU president: Nick Rolovich still not vaccinated, says there will be 'no free pass for anybody' reg

regarding mandate

Could Washington State coach Nick Rolovich really be putting his job at risk by not getting a COVID-19 vaccination?

It's a question worth pondering as the days count down to the state of Washington's vaccine mandate on Oct. 18. All state employees must be fully vaccinated by that date. And according to Washington State president Kirk Schulz, Rolovich hasn't gotten a shot yet.

Shulz referenced Rolovich at a faculty senate meeting on Thursday. PullmanRadio.com obtained audio of his remarks during that meeting. At first, Schulz declines to name Rolovich before he makes it clear that he's referring to the second-year football coach.

"The major elephant in the room, the thing that’s gotten the Seattle Times all excited is the one individual who is in a very prominent position that up until this date has not been vaccinated and has not talked to the media much about where that is," Schulz said. "I just remind everybody, regardless of what the person makes, what position they have, we have to treat people the same. And there’s a lot of, ‘Well you oughta terminate somebody.’ Well, am I willing to terminate a faculty member for the same decision, am I willing to terminate a staff member for the same decision? So aside from the emotions of that we’ve had to work really hard to not say a lot and I understand the angst that’s out there over Coach Rolovich’s decision, and at the same time I’ve tried to remind everybody the community has done a fantastic job of vaccination."

He’s a horrible person. A horrible coach. Fire him and the two assistant coaches that have refused to get vaxed and be done with it.

Btw the brother of the two assistant coaches was fired from his coaching job for refusing to get vaccinated.
