The ruling leaves timing and scope uncertain while mandating a good faith restart effort.

KU Maintains Vaccine Mandate Not Feasible Under State Law
KU reiterates it cannot mandate vaccines or require proof due to state budget provisions. Senate Bill 159 bars using state funds for vaccine passports, tying the issue to external fundraising and the EU endowment. KU says other state universities follow suit, and its general counsel reviewed the bill without a memo. The university still encourages vaccination with incentives totaling about 235,000 dollars for students who provide proof.
