Illinois higher education officials are urging all colleges and universities to require students get vaccinated ahead of returning to campus next month for in-person learning in the wake of new federal guidance on vaccinations in school settings.
The joint guidance from the Illinois Board of Higher Education and the Illinois Community College Board, released Monday, was prompted by recently updated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stressing the importance of university vaccine requirements.

Students who don t get vaccinated and don t receive an exemption cannot go on campus or use university email accounts. Their access cards to campus will be deactivated, the judge wrote.
Eight students sued the school shortly after the policy was announced in May, arguing the mandate infringes on their bodily autonomy and medical privacy. They also argued against mask requirements and Covid testing, but the judge also denied those requests, saying there is no fundamental constitutional right to not wear a mask. They ask the court to enter a preliminary injunction an extraordinary remedy that requires a strong showing that they will likely succeed on the merits of their claims, that they will sustain irreparable harm, and that the balance of harms and the public interest favor such a remedy, the judge s opinion read. The court now denies their motion.
