Indiana University students sue school over COVID-19 vaccine requirement

Students at Indiana University are suing the school for requiring students to get the COVID-19 vaccine. The eight students who filed the federal lawsuit allege the university's mandate violates their constitutional rights as well as the state's law.

The suit alleges the vaccine requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which includes rights of personal autonomy and bodily integrity, and the right to reject medical treatment.  It also alleges that by requiring vaccine passports that indicate vaccine status, the university is violating state laws, which prevents local organizations from requiring vaccine passports.
