While I am not a great defender of our post-high school academies of indoctrination, legally, in most cases the schools were not closed by their own choice - the government said they could not operate. They did not set out choosing to not give their students their classes. The schools were obeying government mandates against the schools normal operations.

All of that is likely to give colleges some good grounds to claim the most they will give students is credit for tuition paid against continuing classes with the school when the classes can resume.

On the other hand, the schools should be held to account, in some way, for not suspending teachers without pay when they were forced to suspend classes.

I see it from a different perspective. The universities cannot provide that for which they contracted with the students, an on campus in person learning program complete with all the support facilities like libraries and labs. They haven't earned the tuition that are refusing to refund.

The big corporations the professoriat loves to attack would have to refund the money if they could not provide the goods.
