There are some cases where they can open the fridge, mainly safety reasons. My school was in the path of Helene and right before they opened back up maintenance went through every dorm checking for mold and flooding. Fridges were opened because of this and several people got busted for having beer.
thats valid for them but there also needs to be a notice sent out about it beforehand. thats understandable but its a violation for them to be doing it if you own the fridge. if it's owned by the school i guess i get it but otherwise they shouldn't 😭 they can get a lawsuit from it if there was no proper reasoning
Given the fridge is school property in this case they might need less of a reason. Also if the school is given a report saying a student is storing something they’re not supposed to have in a certain place most housing contracts have it built in that they can check school owned items without notice
