I wonder if some of these mandates are going to be based on the honour system. Or only enforceable for registered students and official visitors (speakers, guest lecturers etc).

Because enforcing it for a random joe who decides to stop by Mac Hall for lunch doesn't seem feasible.

You can try to enforce access at the University, but it's way too spread out, and there are way too many people there for it to work.
It is essentially the honor system although it sounds like (for students/staff) the stick is similar to what outer businesses are doing - your declaration you are vaccinated will be what is used to enforce this. A false declaration could be considered grounds for dismissal. Talking to my kids yesterday and their understanding is these latest updates comes into effect for Winter session which is January. So basically they are giving students time to get vaccinated which is fair.
