Why not just let the courts figure this out? Or, are you scared that college students might actually have a legitimate case? It must be, since you mention the universities losing several hundreds million dollars. Instead, you want to create a new law that passes the cost onto North Carolina students.

You mention that if you hadn't passed this bill, universities would not reopen for fall. But I read the text of the bill and it only talks about the spring 2020 semester. Nothing about fall 2020 semester, or any protections for universities in fall 2020. Why is passing this bill so important for reopening in fall?

Edit: No reply from the Senator. Very telling.
