Indiana University students must comply with the school's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for the fall semester after a federal judge refused on Monday to block the school's inoculation requirement, one of the first rulings of its kind during the pandemic.
U.S. District Court Judge Damon Leichty in South Bend, Indiana, rejected the argument by eight students that the school violated their bodily autonomy and constitutional right to due process.
The students sued last month and asked Leichty to block the school's requirement that students, faculty and staff be vaccinated or receive an exemption. Exempted students must follow separate COVID-19 mitigation strategies. COVID-19 vaccines have become a U.S. political flashpoint and the country has fallen short of President Joe Biden's vaccine goals, raising concerns that life may not return to normal as the number of infections are beginning to rise.
More than 500 colleges and universities have mandated the COVID-19 vaccine and Leichty's ruling appears to be the first in a case challenging such a policy.
