Professor Glass is hired by Towers University to teach business law at a salary of $6,000 per month. After school has been in session for two months, the Business Administration Building is destroyed by fire. The University refuses to pay him any
further salary, claiming they are discharged from their obligation of performance. Is the University discharged from its obligation of performance? Is Professor Glass discharged from his obligation of performance? Explain, citing the legal principles involved.
Neither party is discharged from performance. The University will argue that it is discharged based upon impossibility of performance. However, that is not a very persuasive argument, because they could arrange to have Professor Glass's classes held in another building without undue hardship.
