Former MSU employees expected to challenge university's COVID-19 vaccine mandate in court

Cincinnati, OH — Former Michigan State University employees are expected to appear before the U.S. Court of Appeals over the school's COVID-19 vaccine mandate Wednesday.

Jeanna Norris, Kraig Ehm, and D’Ann Rohrer, were current employees who were fired for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the New Civil Liberties Alliance., a non-profit civil rights organization.

The group is challenging the school's vaccination policy, saying it violates their constitutional right to bodily autonomy.
