IU said in a statement that the ruling allows the school to focus on “a full and safe return” for the fall semester on all its campuses.
INDIANAPOLIS — A federal judge is allowing Indiana University to continue with its Covid-19 vaccine requirement for all students and employees.
A ruling from a judge in South Bend has rejected a request from eight IU students who sought to block the requirement while they pursued a lawsuit claiming that the university’s policy violated both their constitutional rights and the state’s new law banning vaccine passports. The judge held a hearing on the case last week and wrote in his ruling dated Sunday that evidence so far shows that IU has pursued a reasonable policy in the “legitimate interest of public health for its students, faculty and staff.”
