UNDATED (AP) — The attorney for fired Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich says his client is prepared to take legal action.
Attorney Brian Fahling says Rolovich’s termination for refusing to get a COVID-19 vaccination was unlawful and an attack on his Catholic faith.
Rolovich and four of his assistants were fired Monday for not complying with the governor’s mandate that all state employees be vaccinated against the coronavirus.
Rolovich had requested a religious exemption but it was denied Monday, the state’s vaccination deadline.
