[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]

The incident took place just after Trump was elected.  So, fall 2015.  We’re heading into seven years. The President and involved faculty were replaced. The student body has completely turned over— almost twice.

Some SLACs were in person during COVID but had student and teachers being pressured not to attend class (ahhmm Haverford and Bryn Mwar). Some had nasty protests.  Some big name colleges (Michigan State, The Ohio State, Penn State some UCs) had serious sex abuse scandals.  UNC was handing out degrees to athletes who did literally no academic work.  Mitch Daniels is a loud and proud mysogenist at Purdue. Those kids you would hire.

But yes, an Oberlin protest 6-7 years ago is where you draw the line.  :roll:

You don’t have to like Oberlin. The students aren’t applying to work for MAGA anyway. But, OP should honest about the fact that this “scandal” they trot out every couple of months is Faux News generated outrage way out of proportion in 2022.  You know what else Oberlin did in the past?  First college to racially integrate, first college to admit men one women on the same terms. Stop on the Underground Railroad. That’s their past as well.
