What part of it violates the law? There’s no requirement in it that I read.

You can't ask people to provide proof that they are vaccinated. Exactly how do you think UA is going to force unvaccinated kids to wear a face covering without asking for proof of vaccination status?
In effect, that law makes everything they announced optional. UA can't ask students to prove they are vaccinated, so nothing they announced is enforceable in any way.
If they do what they must do to enforce those rules (which means asking for proof of vaccine status), then they are violating the law.
ETA: Thank goodness was our notoriously slow state government finally got something right for once.

I am curious as well what law is being violated. This is what was linked.
Pursuant to state law, UA will not mandate the COVID vaccine as a condition of attendance.
Sounds like they are following the law here.
Unvaccinated individuals are expected to wear a mask inside campus buildings and continue to practice social distancing wherever possible.
Not be mandated but is expected so no one being forced but asking individuals to be cautious per the CDC and state guidelines if anything.
Per CDC and ADPH guidance, unvaccinated individuals remain subject to quarantine/isolation protocols, in the event of a positive test or potential exposure.
They are following the state's guidance here so again how can they be sued or how are they breaking the law?
Individuals required to follow quarantine/isolation protocols should plan to return to their legal residence. For campus residents unable to return home, UA will maintain limited on-campus housing designated for this purpose.
UA is trying to get back to pre-pandemic conditions which means they need have access to full housing and not provide as much for quarantine.
“For-cause” testing may be required for specified, unvaccinated individuals under the UA System Health and Safety plan in the event of a suspected increase in exposures at a specific location or among an identified group.
That seems to apply to an outbreak and not sure why this would be an issue
Faculty teaching in-person classes are not required to provide online options due to COVID quarantine or isolation, absent necessary accommodations. Missing up to two weeks of class can have a major impact on academic experiences and potentially affect grades.
Again faculty are not required to accommodate even is a student misses for the flu or any illness for a long period of time. So why would this bring an exception. Hence why students have a drop date for a course or can maybe take an incomplete.
