[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear Oberlin's appeal, and the college owes $36 million to the Gibsons. The college has still not admitted they or their administrators did any thing wrong, and may choose to try to appeal to federal court in their continuing effort to exhaust the resources of the Gibson family.

The $36 million doesn’t include Oberlin’s own legal fees. The total cost is probably more than half of the college’s total annual budget. It’s amazing that the college has chosen this path when an apology early on would have made the case go away.

Here’s a few articles from “National” sources for those who want to say it’s a “non-story:”

Oberlin’s insurance carrier paid the legal fees.[/quote]

Cite for this?  Last I saw, Oberlin’s insurance carrier is disclaiming liability and the Board was making the calls on the litigation.  Error and Omissions policies don’t cover intentional torts. [/quote]
