It either is
1. In violation of the law.
Or
2. Something they have no way to enforce because they can't know who is vaccinated. Meaningless words.
Those are the only options. If you want to say they came out with a bunch of words with no meaning, then I agree with that, but that clearly wasn't the intent. AG Marshall's statement today was clearly a response to UA's rules they were wanting to enforce.

What law have they broken though?
If there is a breakout they can require everyone vaccinated or not to be tested to ensure public safety with those within the group or proximity. At that point I assume anyone vaccinated will come forward to say I am vaccinated and those that do not will get tested.
I really could care less what the AG says because if it becomes a public safety issue the school will do what it has to to prevent itself from being sued within the guideline of the law.
And did you not read what the AG said?
It prohibits institutions of education—both public and private—from requiring students to prove any new immunization status as a condition of attendance
Where is UA requiring a student to show they have been vacinated? In what universe is UA going against what the AG has said?
UA said:
Per CDC and ADPH guidance, unvaccinated individuals remain subject to quarantine/isolation protocols, in the event of a positive test or potential exposure.
Individuals required to follow quarantine/isolation protocols should plan to return to their legal residence. For campus residents unable to return home, UA will maintain limited on-campus housing designated for this purpose.
They are following what the state has told them to do.
I am reading what is exactly written from both UA and the AG. Not sure what you are reading here.

They can know who is vaccinated. They just can't require that a person's vaccine status is disclosed to the school. You can volunteer your own medical information though, including vaccination status. There's nothing stopping them from quarantining all students who come into close contact with a confirmed case and then giving students the option of providing proof of vaccination to satisfy the quarantine requirements. As a practical matter all vaccinated students would, but they are not being required to do so and would still have the option of keeping their medical information confidential and going through the quarantine protocol.
I'd agree that masks are not enforceable, but then they're only being "expected" rather than required.
