Hello again -

Thank you all very much for your input and advice! You all made some very valid
points and comments.

I'm currently weighing several options as to my next course of action through
the maze of red tape.

At this point, I do not believe that Missouri law will be able to help me,
since, as was stated by someone else, it is more of a matter of contractual
agreement than something being forced on me.

I'm going to try to find a doctor that will give me a medical exemption letter
(no small feat, I know). If that fails, I will get blood titers to prove
immunity. If THAT fails, I will try to go up the ladder and politely argue
policy.

Finding another college was suggested. I would have walked away long ago if I
had comparable options, but I don't. Apart from this singular issue, I love many
aspects of this particular school, and it has much to offer that I won't be able
to find anywhere else. The rest of their policy is reasonable, and I've grown
very attached to the campus and people there. In spite of all this, I will find
another institution as a last recourse if necessary.(And I sincerely hope that
won't be the case!) It's also likely that I'd run into the same issue at another
school, though.
The loss of one "customer" really wouldn't be of much consequence to
this particular school; they receive thousands of applications each semester,
and are only able to accept around ten percent of those.
Fortunately, apart from my vaccination issue, everything else is in my favor for
being accepted.

I will keep you posted about what happens.
Thanks again,
N. Maxwell
