[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think this and a string of other idiotic missteps by the college will not impact oberlin grada in the workforce. Even unconscious bias can impact hiring decisions. [/quote]

The original incident was over 5 years ago and the verdict was three years ago.  What evidence is there that this has harmed Oberlin graduates?  No one is paying attention to it anymore other that RWNJ news sites.[/quote]

Not sure if it would hurt graduates. It might hurt  their recruiting. [/quote]

One data point-my very liberal teen isn’t applying there because she was so turned off by this. (To be fair, she has also ruled out schools for being “too pretty” and “too many Econ majors” so take it for what it’s worth!) [/quote]

Same in our house. There was an awkward moment on our tour this summer when we walked down the street the bakery is on and the guide told us something about each business except the bakery. It was a very obvious omission/snub and drew more attention to it than there would have been if she had just said “and here’s a bakery that has muffins ready each day ay 7” or something benign.
