FWIW, yesterday, a class action suit was filed against Liberty University for failing to protect students by inviting them back to campus during the COVID 19 crisis. I'm sure every University GC is well-aware of this suit, and their school's potential liability if they open their campus, and an outbreak occurs. With Liberty being a notable exception, colleges and universities are particularly careful about not taking steps that would open them up for liability, which is a big reason why most schools closed their doors before most other businesses closed up. While I hope to be wrong (as I have two in college that are driving me crazy at home), will be surprised if campuses open up en masse in August 2020. Then again, things change so quickly. August is still 4 months away.
4 months can be two eternities or longer in your situation. In vaccine development world, unfortunately that is about 25% (or less) of optimistic development time. I don't expect schools to re-open for in-person classes until they can give or require vaccination.
