Claim: 'If a university burns down or is destroyed otherwise, all the current students immediately graduate with a bachelor's degree.'
Fact-check: Pass by catastrophe is an urban legend; Universities do not award graduation degrees to all students at the time of catastrophe - FACTLY
Verdict: there are no reports of universities awarding degrees to all the students at the time of any catastrophe. further, researchers and academicians have also rubbished the claim and described the claim as an urban legend. however, there are instances of universities providing some relief to students by reducing the course work in such cases. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
