Virginia Tech has disenrolled more than 100 students who failed to submit COVID-19 vaccination documentations, university officials said on Tuesday. 

Out of about 37,000 Virginia Tech students expected when classes began last week, 134 have been disenrolled for failing to submit their proof of vaccination or exemption documents, university spokesman Mark Owczarski told the Roanoke Times.  

It comes just days after the University of Virginia kicked out 238 students for failure to comply with the school's vaccination requirements, though of those the school says only 48 were enrolled for fall classes.  

As students at all levels return to the classroom for fall semester, the debate over vaccination and mask mandates is heating up across the country. 

At Western Michigan University, four female soccer players sued the school for threatening to kick them off the team if they don't get vaccinated, saying the mandate violates their religious beliefs. 

In several states including Texas and Florida, Republican governors have banned government vaccine mandates, including at publicly funded universities.  

Those executive orders are now under legal challenges, with opponents arguing that school vaccine mandates are necessary in a congregate setting, as the highly infectious Delta variant drives a surge of infections. 

In California and New York, meanwhile, nearly all public and private universities require students to get vaccinated. In New York, public universities cannot even allow for religious exemptions, while a majority of the state's private universities can. 

Most universities already require proof of routine vaccinations such as measles, mumps and rubella in order to enroll in classes.
