[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This decision is a big f#cking deal.

It basically makes colleges responsible for the expressed OPINIONS of its students if such opinions can be viewed as potentially defamatory. And, as Oberlin points out, the only way for a university to avoid a tort is to categorically stop the students from expressing opinions.

Kinda weird that the rightwing so obsessed with “cancel culture” is basically salivating at suing universities for the speech of its students.

Read Oberlin’s appeal, the decision has huge legal ramifications:

Of course, the next step to this is to sue universities if students accuse someone of being a “rapist” or “sexual harasser.”[/quote]

Um… you do realize that the MAJOR instigator here was the idiot dean, Meredith Raimondo?  She is responsible for whipping up the outrage among the students, and encouraging a woke mob to take down Gibsons over false accusations of “racial profiling.”  The college stood by Raimondo, and doubled-down on the absurd accusations.  Of course they are responsible for ruining this family.  Why are you deliberately ignoring the facts of this case?

Interesting, the university vigorously disagrees with your assessment:

Vigorously? That's basically a "10 reasons we should have won (but didn't)" tik tok post.[/quote]
