STANFORD, Calif.—A group of Stanford University students, led by first-year Ph.D. student Monte Fischer, delivered to school leaders on Jan. 18 an open letter against the school’s booster shot mandates.

The letter is addressed to President Marc Tessier-Lavigne, Provost Persis Drell, and Associate Vice Provost Russell Furr. It demands a repeal to Stanford’s policy mandating that all students receive a COVID-19 booster by the end of January.
