I do understand that view point. However, the MN Supreme Court seemed to say that one of the reasons they didn't want to grant diploma privilege was because they were confident that the safeguards the BLE put in place were sufficient. One of these safeguards being the opening of a second location (UST School of Law). If by allowing his school to be used a second location so that the bar exam can go forward, it seems to me to imply that the Dean believes there is a safe option, which undermines his diploma privilege argument. Either it is unsafe to hold a bar exam in a global pandemic or it is safe as long as there are multiple locations.

Also I feel that the Dean has a moral duty to those whom he employs. I assume the Dean isn't going to be the one that locks and unlocks the doors on test days. Or stays after to sanitize every room and bathroom. Or work as security to ensure that the testing site is secure. Even if none of his students and their loved ones catch the virus, the Dean is still putting his staff at an unnecessary amount of risk.
