Eight students from Indiana University (IU) filed a lawsuit in a federal court on Monday against the school’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate, saying the mandate is unconstitutional and violates Indiana’s ban on vaccine passports.

The Bopp Law Firm represented the eight students and sued the board of trustees—the IU’s governing body and legal owner.
