Something they have no way to enforce because they can't know who is vaccinated. Meaningless words.
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.

In the end it is very simple. UA is not violating any law but they are issuing a statement, probably issued from their legal team, that they hope to use as a legal blanket to prevent them from being sued in case there is a mass break out of Covid and/or deaths relating from it.
It is a prevention of liability statement and nothing more. The statement from the AG is them addressing all the confused people of what legally can and can not be enforced who continually contact his office. It is not a statement aimed directly at UA or anyone entity specifically.

Actually, you're wrong. That is totally and completely in violation of this law and they would lose any case brought against them over this.
ETA: Anyone who thinks UA will be able to enforce any of these edicts is fooling himself. Everything they claim they will be doing is in violation of the state statute because they simply cannot ask people to provide their vaccine paperwork for any reason. Saying "you can return to class sooner with evidence you've received the vaccine" IS asking for your vaccine status. Leaving it as an option to return to class IS against the law.
