Randy Boyd, president of the University of Tennessee System, lifted all mask mandates in the university system, WBIR News reported.
“On Friday evening, Governor Bill Lee signed SB9014/HB9077, which precludes state entities from having mask or vaccine mandates unless exempted from the law by the state comptroller when federal funding is at risk,” Boyd wrote to the campuses. “Accordingly, we are lifting mask requirements across the UT System effective immediately.”
He also wrote that the system has applied for an exemption for its employees working on federal contracts. “The University of Tennessee System has applied for an exemption to allow each campus and institute the flexibility necessary to implement the requirements of the federal executive order as required by certain federal contracts with UT campuses and institutes,” he said.
