The responses we are receiving assume we have poor understanding of basic descriptive statistics. I challenge the recent assertion that >90% of students are vaccinated. You have to report the response rate for that to have any actual context.
- Can we please add a dashboard on the vax status data, by campus, by status (faculty, staff, student)? This would be pretty incentivizing and fun to watch [from a distance] increase over the course of the semester.
- In the meantime, what percentage of the WSU community (reported separately by classification — faculty, staff, students– and by campus):
- Have reported their vaccination status?
- Have a fully documented full vaccination status, have a documented medical exemption, have a documented religious exemption, have a “personal/philosophical” exemption? Also, be sure to provide those data with the % non-reporter provided, so it’s not misleading statistically, so:
- xx% missing data
- xx% fully vaccinated
- xx% documented medical exemption
- xx% religious exemption
- xx% philosophical/personal exemption
