When U.S. President Donald Trump held a rally earlier this summer in Tulsa, Okla., expecting thousands of supporters to gather in close quarters,\u00a0he had them all sign COVID-19 liability waivers<\/a>. This meant they couldn\u2019t hold him or his campaign responsible if they contracted COVID-19 at the event.<\/p>\n

At the time, we were amused by the irony, but COVID-19 waivers are becoming commonplace. The city of Halifax has\u00a0one for its summer camps<\/a>, as do\u00a0Saskatchewan 4-H clubs<\/a>\u00a0and some dental clinics and\u00a0yoga studios<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Several American universities make students\u00a0sign waivers before participating in sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s every reason to think that if or when students return to campuses in the fall, Canadian universities will seek to limit their legal risk. We urge them not to.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 liability waiver<\/strong><\/h4>\n

St. Francis Xavier University, in Antigonish, N.S. \u2014 known colloquially as StFXU \u2014 recently announced its students would have to\u00a0sign COVID-19 liability waivers<\/a>. StFXU is offering most of its courses in person this fall.<\/p>\n

Under StFXU\u2019s proposed waiver, students won\u2019t be allowed to return to campus or participate in\u00a0any activities<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 including online activities \u2014 unless they first sign it.<\/p>\n

By doing so, students would have no legal recourse against StFXU if they contracted COVID-19 due to the university\u2019s negligence or wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

In response to\u00a0concerns raised by the university community<\/a>, StFXU\u00a0reconsidered the specific wording of its waiver<\/a>, but\u00a0ultimately decided to proceed.<\/a><\/p>\n

Even without a waiver, StFXU wouldn\u2019t be financially responsible for all COVID-19 infections \u2014 it\u2019s only liable for those infections caused by its unreasonable acts or omissions. But the waiver meant that even if StFXU acted unreasonably, students couldn\u2019t recover compensation.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 waivers are wrongheaded<\/h4>\n

StFXU and other universities would be wrong to impose this risk on their students. Moreover, such waivers might not even be enforceable.<\/p>\n

Liability waivers are contracts \u2014 agreements between parties committing to some kind of exchange. They allocate risks and rewards. If you want a company to provide you with scuba lessons for $500, for example, it will insist you sign a waiver so that you bear the risk of injury.<\/p>\n

In theory, you could pay the company (or a competitor) $600 for those lessons and the scuba company could insure against losses. The ability to allocate risk and voluntarily agree on terms is fundamental to contract law, and\u00a0Canadian courts have generally enforced liability waivers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

University COVID-19 waivers, however, are different. Students don\u2019t have the ability to negotiate the terms of a waiver or to pursue their post-secondary education elsewhere. These waivers are take-it-or-leave-it: if you want to be a university student this fall, you\u2019ll have to sign away your legal rights. If you don\u2019t, you can\u2019t have access to your education.<\/p>\n

Public policy concerns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are several reasons why universities would be wrong if they sought to impose the financial risk of COVID-19 on their students as insurance companies stop covering losses due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

First, post-secondary education is a public good. Like all education, it benefits not only individual students but society as a whole. If liability rests with universities, compensation will come partly from governments,\u00a0which still provide a significant portion of university budgets.<\/a><\/p>\n

Second, universities that unilaterally choose to offer in-person education this fall shouldn\u2019t be allowed to shift the financial risks of their choice onto their students.<\/p>\n

Third, liability waivers remove an important incentive to ensure campus is safe. Though universities will undoubtedly continue to take all appropriate measures to protect their students, the risk of legal liability helps encourage institutions to prioritize safety measures.<\/p>\n

Legal concerns<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s no \u201cfreedom of contract\u201d here. Instead, there\u2019s a significant inequality of bargaining power. University students will be forced to either accept the waiver or forego their education \u2014 at least for now. This isn\u2019t a bargain students enter into willingly, as\u00a0concerns over the StFXU waiver<\/a>\u00a0show.<\/p>\n

Indeed, waivers like the one initially imposed by StFXU may not be legally enforceable. The Supreme Court of Canada\u2019s\u00a0recent decision in the Uber Technologies Inc. vs. Heller<\/em> case<\/a>\u00a0emphasized that contracts won\u2019t be enforced when they\u2019re unfair.<\/p>\n

For example, if your doctor said she would only take you on as a patient if you waived your right to sue her for negligence, such a waiver wouldn\u2019t be enforced, any more than a promise made with a gun to your head would be.<\/p>\n

The law in Canada on unfair or \u201cunconscionable\u201d contracts\u00a0depends on the specific facts of each case<\/a>. The initial StFXU waiver was an entirely one-sided, take-it-or-leave-it deal in the context of access to higher education and the risk of serious illness. There are reasonable grounds to believe it wouldn\u2019t be upheld in court.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not inconceivable that a university could craft an enforceable COVID-19 waiver, the law is unlikely to tolerate a contract effectively compelling students to choose between their education and their health.<\/p>\n

Universities must ensure student safety<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We sympathize with institutions whose insurance companies will soon stop covering losses due to COVID-19. That puts them in a difficult position, and for many organizations, like summer camps and yoga studios, waivers may be appropriate.<\/p>\n

But universities are different. They have a higher calling than merely protecting the bottom line. Universities have a duty to provide a safe learning environment for their students.<\/p>\n

If they fail in this duty and students contract COVID-19 as a result, universities should be legally responsible.<\/p>\n
