[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I attempted to read some of the objective reporting on the outcome, it really has bad implications for student free speech in general.  While I did not read the trail transcripts or jury instruction, what I read indicates the verdict rests in large part on the school's support for the student senate and its failure to censor the student senate.  I would think that would be of concern to all you that worry about how free speech is stifled by higher ed.  Or is it just inflamatory conservative free speech you want to protect?

Attaching a bad motive to a school (or any person or institution) using its legal options to appeal and seek review is also questionable.  But go ahead continue to think that you are the warriors defending free speech if it make you feel better.[/quote]

You need to read more. The school took many actions to directly libel the bakery and cut off the school contract. and of course, there are no first amendment implications to the school *supporting* the student senate. [/quote]

DP.  You don’t believe in freedom of contract?[/quote]

there’s something called “tortious interference with contract” and cancelling the contract is also evidence of malice in the defamation claim.  [/quote]

Do you know what tortious interference with contract is?  You can’t tortiously interfere with your own contract.[/quote]

DP. It was shown that the Oberlin Administrators pressured the school dining hall contractor to break their[b] subcontract with the bakery[/b].  [/quote]

and that most definitely would be "tortious interference with contract".  bingo[/quote]
