LAPD Chief Michel Moore conducts his crime briefing with department officials at LAPD headquarters in October 2021. In moving to quickly terminate the officers, he said, the LAPD "trampled" on their due process rights. At the time of Stringer's termination, unvaccinated employees had to submit to twice-weekly coronavirus testing on their own time under the city's vaccine rules.

The decision, Reiss said, found that the university "has to consider its annual budget and therefore it has the right to require to pay employees for COVID testing."
