I can't link from my phone, but Inside Higher Ed has an article that university presidents are asking the Feds to protect them from lawsuits if they reopen. They claim that's the only way they can go back to traditional teaching.

So, why would any student be so stupid to attend a school that says you're on your own if you get sick? How many imbecilic football fans exist that would attend games that aren't up to current health standards? If the Feds don't go along with this bullshit, unis will remain closed, no matter what they publicly state. Seems as if the CalStates understand they cannot assure the health safety of their campuses. Other schools are too dependent on big time sports money to give up that quickly...
