Students Rally Against Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccines at NJ University: ‘They’re Going to Keep Moving the Goalposts’
Hundreds of Rutgers University students and their parents held a rally on the university’s New Brunswick, New Jersey, campus on May 21 to speak out against the school’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students.
The event was organized by Turning Point USA, Young Americans for Liberty, and NJ Stands Up, a medical freedom advocacy group, in response to the university’s new requirement introduced in March that all students enrolled for in-person classes for the 2021 fall semester must be vaccinated for COVID-19.
The mandate doesn’t apply to students enrolled in fully remote online programs; it also allows exemptions from vaccination on medical or religious grounds, according to a statement at the time the requirement was announced.

TESTA: New leadership needed at New Jersey Department of Corrections
New Jersey State Senator Michael Testa Jr.
It’s long past time for new leadership at the New Jersey Department of Corrections. Commissioner Marcus Hicks has repeatedly failed to manage our state prison system effectively, putting inmates, staff, and host communities at risk.
We first raised those concerns nearly a year ago when Hicks ignored multiple warnings and advice that could have prevented COVID-19 from entering and spreading unchecked through our prisons. His refusal to listen resulted in major coronavirus outbreaks and an unnecessary loss of life.
Unfortunately, Hicks also didn’t listen when we called for his resignation last year, and Governor Phil Murphy, unsurprisingly, failed to hold him accountable – just as he has held nobody accountable for Katie Brenan’s accusations or the tragic loss of thousands of lives in our nursing homes.
