7th Circuit Court of Appeals
Case Name: Ryan Klaassen, et al., v. Trustees of Indiana University
Case No.: 21-2326
Officials: Easterbrook, Scudder, and Kirsch, Circuit Judges.
Focus: Preliminary Injunction
Starting next semester, all students at Indiana University must be vaccinated against COVID-19 unless they are exempt for religious or medical reasons. Exempt students must wear masks and be tested for the disease twice a week. Eight students contend in this suit that these conditions of attendance violate the Due Process Clause of the Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment. The district court denied plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction, 2021 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 133300 (N.D. Ind. July 18, 2021), and they ask us to issue an injunction pending appeal. The motion for an injunction pending appeal is denied.
