This is interesting, not because it is a school closing, but because of what it might represent.

Here you have a school saying it doesn't have any cases, but if it did, it couldn't guarantee the safety of students, faculty and staff.  This makes me wonder if legal counsel is starting to advise schools and the like that they may be facing legal liability if they take reckless actions with the lives of those under their care, like continuing with classes and events.

This could have implications for the sports leagues, arena management companies, and cities too. There is no doubt in my mind Princess Cruises is going to face a mountain of law suits over their infected ships, so I wouldn't doubt universities and others holding public gatherings might be on the liability hook and they want to avoid at all costs. 

Any tort lawyers here want to chime in?

I wonder if the fact that Berea is a tuition free college makes any difference.
