Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry is opposing vaccine mandates at in-state colleges and universities, saying they violate student rights.

Landry sent a letter, made public Thursday, to Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM), located at the University of Louisiana-Monroe, warning of a possible lawsuit if the college doesn’t amend its vaccination policy.
