The Jesuit-run university in Nebraska has a mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy, which does not allow exemptions for sincerely held religious beliefs.
Four Creighton University students have sued the Jesuit-run university for its mandatory COVID-19 vaccine policy, which does not allow exemptions for sincerely held religious beliefs. One of the students, the president of Creighton Students for Life, said she was expelled for refusing to take the shots.
The four students — Lauren Ramaekers, Patrice Quadrel, Sarah Sinsel and Jane Doe — filed suit Sept. 8 in District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska. Creighton’s main campus is in Omaha. The women are seeking an injunction preventing the university from “un-enrolling” them for not taking the shots. Creighton policy requires proof of vaccination for all students, but not for staff. The students’ legal filing asks for an expedited hearing on the matter.
“Many students and parents are disturbed that a religious institution is not allowing religious exemptions,” said attorney Robert M. Sullivan of Wahoo, Neb., who represents the students. “The students suing Creighton have deeply and sincerely held opposition to the vaccine based on their religious beliefs.”
Sullivan sent a letter to Creighton President Rev. Daniel S. Hendrickson S.J. on Sept. 2, asking the school to make accommodations for his clients. Sullivan said he received no reply. “I must express the hope that instead of a summary denial, you can help these students continue their education at your institution, without forcing them to violate their own consciences, and without the unpleasant litigation which would follow,” Sullivan stated in the letter.

I hope the students win and win quickly.
Run by Jesuits...hmm...but is it Catholic or even Christian?
More evidence that Catholics aren’t Catholic anymore.
Cretin U.
When the church bells all were broken.
Now, I oppose the federal government being involved in education. But I'm willing to compromise and support limiting federal higher education funding to trade or technical colleges, apprenticeship, and junior colleges. Because we are going to have a huge skills gap in this country.
I especially feel sorry for Jane Doe who has always wanted to be somebody
