[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This incident happened nearly a decade ago.   Of course,  all involved students are long gone,  but so too is the entire administration.   The president over the past five years is exceedingly impressive,  the student dean that was the one who was the focus of the lawsuit is gone, and so too are other officials such as the gc.

On expenses,[b] the tuition is basically the same as every other prestigious private college,[/b]  but meets full financial need and has generous merit .  It hss a 1.2 billion endowment.  I assume that,  in a pretty good quarter,  the endowment makes more than the entire judgment.

On ranking,  the criteria changed.  Plugging in the stats of the conservatory does bring some numbers down. But at the same time,  the conservatory remains excellent and a fundamental part of the school and its intellectual life.

One point from the article that has not been noted in this chain. The article said that the college strongly urged the insurers to settle the case before trial when there was an opportunity to settle for less than 10 million.   Based on this fact,  it seems that the college was not on some litigation crusade, and it was insurers who said no.  If true, the insurers will have to pay the bulk of the amount.

That sounds good, but Oberlin isn't prestigious anymore yet it is still charging like it is. Aside from the conservancy, Oberlin is not in competition with Williams and Amherst or even Hamilton and Colby. It's much closer to Dickenson in the pecking order and schools in that range throw around merit because they know that nobody takes the tuition number seriously [/quote]
