force majeure Defense, during catastrophes everybody sucks it up, stop whining. Mind you, the universities are a particularly perverse example

Force Majeure is used to break a contract. It doesn't mean that the entity using it is free from any and all obligations; in fact, cases like this would be most likely to require a refund. Invoking force majeure gets the college out of having to provide an education - but they're still responsible for refunding the $$ they were paid in advance for those credit-hours. You don't get to keep the $$$ just because.

It's basically a reset back to how everything was before the contract was signed.
