Abstract
In the Spring of 2020, schools were required to close and online classes were offered at universities due to the spread of the new coronavirus disease. Voluntary vaccination began in 2021, and vaccination and PCR test were recommended even though they were not mandatory for on-campus and off-campus training. In some cases, students and faculty members have received vaccinations and PCR tests without sufficient informed consent. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the measures of taken against infectious diseases were appropriate in light of the purpose and social role of institutions of higher education, and to examine the possibility of taking more desirable measures, as well as to critically reflect and reconsider our own ethical obligations and true social contribution as university professors and professionals.
