Klaassen v. Trustees of Indiana University
Application for injunctive relief denied by Justice Barrett on Aug. 12, 2021.
Issues: (1) Whether heightened scrutiny applies to Indiana University’s mandate that all IU students take the COVID vaccine in violation of their constitutional rights to bodily integrity and autonomy and medical treatment choice so that IU must prove that its mandate is justified, which the courts below erroneously failed to do; and (2) whether IU failed to prove that its mandate is justified under heightened scrutiny.
