[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]99 percent of the people opining on this have absolutely no idea what actually went down.  (Much like the banh mi story that conservatives freaked out about, which turned out to be completely anodyne and unremarkable.)  Oberlin is a very good school that produces some amazing graduates.  The fact that the administration mishandled some aspects of the lawsuit isn't even newsworthy except to conservatives trying to cherry-pick examples of a preset narrative.  It's not going to hurt employment prospects for grads, because most employers DO NOT CARE about stupid crap like this.     [/quote]

The school was wrong, refuses to pay, and practically put a hard working community family out of business - WTH kind of moral ground is that?? [/quote]

It’s called due process. [/quote]

Nope. Due process is what the government owes its citizens before depriving them of life or liberty. It shapes criminal procedures not when you settle a civil case or whether you appeal a case when you know you were in the wrong.   https://constitutioncenter.org/interactive-constitution/interpretation/amendment-xiv/clauses/701

Clearly you did not go to law school, because due process absolutely applies in civil matters. [/quote]

Please enlighten us about how the due process clause requires you to appeal a decision you lost in a civil suit.  Idiot pretend lawyer.[/quote]

They’re not obligated to, but they have the legal right to do so.

But it’s really just a silly discussion because no one cares about this story other than RWNJs.[/quote]

Really?  I just did a search and the most recent decision was covered by pretty much every major newspaper in the country.  [/quote]

Links to recent coverage by WaPo and NYT?[/quote]

Just a quick, not exhaustive, search for articles in the last few months (& not counting Fox, etc):

OP starts one of these threads every few months. Clearly Oberlin is living rent free in his brain. [/quote]

LOL. That’s the best you can do?

I posted the above list and I’m not OP. [/quote]
