"It specifically targets people with religious exemptions," Vigil said."In the Bible it says your body is a holy temple. I just don't believe I should be doing that." "By CDC and other health guidelines that is congregate housing, where there are higher transmission rates and so that's why it was really critical for us to mandate the vaccines," Soufleris said.CBS2 brought that concern to attorney Michael Wildes, a former federal prosecutor who has worked on housing cases over the last three decades.
In a statement, Montclair State said,"The New Jersey law against discrimination permits the university to impose conditions and limitations upon access to property as long as it is applicable to all persons. In this case, Montclair is not denying access to its housing based upon any person's religion. Montclair's housing is available to all persons as long as they are fully vaccinated. Accordingly, there can be no civil rights violation.
