This will never go to trial. Once the publicity is done the lawyer will let it quietly fade away.
Also, a lease has a termination period, regardless of who terminates it.
Then I suppose that OU could sue SAE headquarters for disbanding the fraternity and ending the lease but I doubt that they'll do that.
That is to allow an orderly exit from the property. Immediate termination in a lease is not a normal part of a lease, unless the lease specifically lays out the cause in which it can be invoked.
The University did say that any student who needed assistance finding alternate housing could contact the Dean of Students. But in terms of the former fraternity members living in the former fraternity house, they were there becasue they were members of SAE. When SAE went then their right to rooms in the building went.
But you knew that.
No, I don't have your imagination.
Speculation on your part. A lot of harm has been done to multiple parties. The ACLU is also involved. The present arrangements will not be upheld without compensation being paid out. Plus I hope Dr. Boren can find employment for the black cook the fraternity hired who is now jobless.

Actually, the brothers could have a case against the SAE/OU for improper termination of the lease without proper process, according to what the lease actually says. OU could care less about SAE--OU has their own troubles now.

Again, did SAE terminate their charter and lease according to the due process everyone agreed to when they signed their papers. No proof of that has been offered. Also, the Dean of Students can be helpful, but the frat brothers paid money to live in that house for the semester. Who is going to reimburse them? What if it costs them more to live in campus provided housing for the remainder of the semester--who pays the difference?
That is why there has been harm to multiple parties.

Imagination not necessary. Logic helps though.
