From Atlanta, Georgia's WSB-TV2:
Emory University limits internet access for unboosted students
Emory University has launched a program to limit internet access by students who have refused to get a COVID-19 booster shot, the school said.
The program is designed to encourage students to get a COVID-19 booster shot. The school’s policy requires students and faculty to have a COVID-19 vaccination and a booster shot.
Students who have not gotten three vaccinations were notified in February that their internet access would be limited, or the speed slowed if they did not either show they had the booster or had requested an exemption from getting the shot.
About 1,300 students had their Wi-Fi restricted around the week of March 14.
Considering that network access is essential for school participation, this is actionable.
Like I said, an interesting lawsuit.
