Who is the right entity to sue in this case?

It is a State mandate. All State employees. Good luck with that law suit.

Article 1 Section 9.

Article 1 Section 10 applies the same to states.

Quote: SECTION 10. Clause 1. No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

Rather than go into it in detail, ex post facto might be a great place to start. Super abridged: states or state actors can’t enact statutes, legislation, administrative actions, etc. that negatively impact a prior contractual relationship that was otherwise legal prior to the state enacting the statute, etc.

It’s generally limited to criminal - it’s the type of thing a civil litigator will spend a career and never come across. Sicker dogs have gotten well. He’s likely going to get paid unless there is a provision in his employment agreement that states he has to comply with such rules.

So would he sue the state or the university?

Will the university get in trouble for following new state laws? Or will the state be responsible for enacting a law that conflicted with poorly written employment contracts? If the state is at fault in this case, would the state also be at fault if this was a private business complying with a new state law?

Just seems to me when the government mandates vaccine laws, everybody loses.

Not everyone loses. All members of Congress and all congressional employees, staff, and advisors are exempt from the mandates.
