Bokor finds in favor of the university in a class action lawsuit from students claiming breach of contract because they were unable benefit from paying certain mandatory fees to the university while its campus was temporarily closed due to Covid-19 pandemic protocols. Though the students provide documents like invoices and portions of the student handbook as evidence of a contract to provide services in exchange for fees, they fail to point to an "express, written contract" that showing the university waived its sovereign immunity by temporarily ceasing on-campus or in-person services during the pandemic, so the trial court should have granted the university's motion to dismiss. The case is remanded to dismiss the students' lawsuit and vacate class certification. Reversed.
