Kansas State University was founded in
1863 as one of the first land-grant universities in the U.S. It has grown into a large, major research university with more than 20,000
students, 1,500 faculty members, 3,400 staff members and four campuses: the main campus in Manhattan, part of the Flint Hills of east
central Kansas, is a scenic 128-building limestone campus on more than 1,000 acres; K-State Salina Aerospace and Technology is home to
aviation and technology programs; K-State Olathe serves the industry and workforce needs of Greater Kansas City; and K-State Online offers

K-State has nine colleges and a Graduate School and offers more than 400

K-State’s annual budget is more than $900 million. Scientific research expenditures exceed $213 million and extramural funding tops $199
million per year. K-State is home to more than 90 research centers, including four Feed the Future Innovation Labs, an initiative by the
U.S. Agency for International Development to increase food production in nations with limited resources. Called the “Silicon Valley for
biodefense” because of its leadership in food safety and security and agro-defense, K-State’s north campus corridor in Manhattan is home to
the university’s Veterinary Medicine Complex and the Biosecurity Research Institute, a biosafety level-3 facility devoted to comprehensive
infectious disease research and training. Adjacent to these facilities is the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, the nation’s
premier animal disease research facility, which is nearing completion; the university’s research park; the Kansas Department of Agriculture;
and university land for future academic, research and innovation needs.

On Tuesday, Dec. 7, a federal judge
in Georgia blocked President Joe Biden’s executive order requiring the COVID-19 vaccine for federal employees, contractors and
others. The judge’s action puts a hiatus on the mandate for all states, including Kansas.
Effective immediately, Kansas State University will pause its COVID-19 vaccine requirement. At this time, employees do not need
to take any further action related to the vaccine requirement.
The university will continue to monitor the situation
and provide updates on the vaccine requirement through K-State Today and the COVID-19 website.
The health and safety of our
faculty, staff and students remains our top priority. I wish to thank everyone in the K-State community who is vaccinated. We encourage
people to get vaccinated if they have not done so already. Vaccines are free and widely available. They have been proven safe after millions
of inoculations and continue to offer strong protection against COVID-19.
To get vaccinated, students, faculty and
staff can contact Lafene Health Center, their local health department, local pharmacies or private physicians. Learn about other ways to find a COVID-19
vaccine.
