Liable or not, the university has egg on its face.
Defense motion asserts he was actually being treated by the psychiatrist.
She is head of the student mental health services and also a psych professor.
She's treating a student who is studying how the brain works, and who is surrounded by experts in brain function and abnormality. They are not mental health clinicians, but do study things like Alzheimers and mental illness at the neurological and biochemical level.
It's all ironic, and not in a good way. Bunch of experts on brain function and the head of student mental health, a professor who trains psychiatry students on identifying and treating mental health issues, fail to either register or respond appropriately to someone in acute crisis who then goes on a murderous rampage.
I do find it credible that his choice of field might have been motivated in part by a desire to understand himself.
