Attorney General Jeff Landry blasted the LSU Faculty Senate’s request that students be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine to attend classes in the fall. LSU Interim President Thomas Galligan said he will once again “review” the request, and but Landry said there’s nothing to review and the mandate would be illegal.
“Galligan knows, that I mean he’s a lawyer if I’m not mistaken. It’s absolutely ridiculous that we are even having this conversation right now,” said Landry. “This is a bunch of rubbish, it is time for these LSU professors to go to work and start teaching these kids and if they don’t like it they can go find a job somewhere else.”
The LSU Faculty Council overwhelmingly passed a resolution at a council meeting Tuesday urging upper administration to mandate all students to receive a COVID vaccination before the Fall 2021 semester.
