As I have said in other threads, I think it is a liability issue. Let the kids get sick and spread it around, but don't make he University liable for it.
I am curious how the Southern states will do, since many of us had major outbreaks this summer due to kids/young adults ignoring social distancing.

Is this true? I have never heard of a university being liable for kids getting sick or dying from anything, not even from asbestos that we know is all over many colleges. Nor have they been liable for deaths at parties, suicide, drunk driving, drug overdoses, etc... at least not that I've heard. Is Covid being treated differently by the courts?
