FILE PHOTO: The Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease vaccines are administered to healthcare professionals, in Indianapolis - 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.

"This university policy isn’t forced vaccination," wrote the judge. "The students have options — taking the vaccine, applying for a religious exemption, applying for a medical exemption, applying for a medical deferral, taking a semester off, or attending another university." “Today’s ruling does not end the students’ fight — we plan to immediately appeal the judge's decision,” states James Bopp, a conservative activist attorney who represented the students.

Leichty, appointed by former President Donald Trump, said had the students shown a likelihood that the university was infringing unreasonably on constitutional rights, blocking the policy would have been in the public interest. But he said the students "have a low likelihood of success" of proving that.
