I told you all this a week or so ago. The University is currently denying any culpability, but I think once all the facts are out (IF they are ever out), it will turn out that they knew full well that he might pose a danger to himself or others, and did nothing about it.
There is no evidence that the university has any culpability at this point. There is no evidence that there is anything additional that they would have been expected to do, or had cause to do. We don't know the exact reason for the doc and committee's concern.
Apparently, when he quit, the university decided that they had no responsibility to him or others at that point. Legally, they may be culpable for knowing that he posed a threat, and not reporting it. If not held criminally negligent, they may be held responsible in a civil proceeding.
