The University of Wisconsin Education System has implemented mandatory weekly COVID tests for all students on their respective campuses. These mandatory medical tests for otherwise healthy students are an attack on students' personal choices and freedoms when it comes to their health.

Students have the right to take care of their own health as they see fit and need not be mandated to take a medical test weekly that they did not knowingly consent to beforehand. Students should have the freedom to make their own decisions regarding their own personal health, no matter whether their individual decisions are a detriment to their own health or not.  

The COVID-19 pandemic is most certainly a serious issue for the world, but no governing body may trample on an individual's rights even during a time of crisis. No institution may force individuals to go through any medical procedure that they do not willingly want to go through. Testing should be encouraged, but mandatory forceful testing under the unknowable and therefore unlimited threat of punishment not layed out within their policy is unethical.

We demand that the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents immediately abolishes unethical COVID testing policy titled "UW System Administrative Policy 600-01: Interim: Spring Semester 2021 COVID-19 Testing Requirements" it has forced upon their students.
