X a million, all of this.

But, hey, this thread gives a certain segment the opportunity to express faux outrage and use the word "woke" today. So, I guess this is a good day for them.

How often is this person going to keep starting threads on this? So weird you can't move on.

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.

Oberlin’s insurance carrier paid the legal fees.

True, but Oberlin's current behavior is even worse that its own long record.

True.

Still haven’t seen any evidence this is hurting Oberlin in terms of applications, ranking, employment for graduates, etc.

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??

It’s called due process.

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.

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

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.

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

Links to recent coverage by WaPo and NYT?

Those are from months ago, not recent.

“MoNThs AgO!” You mean *3* months (or less) ago? That’s “recent,” when we’re talking about an incident that happened 4 years ago.

PP said “only RWNJs” care about this story. They need to just admit they (you?) were wrong.

No one but rags like Daily Mail appears to be covering the interest piece, which is what this thread is about. Are you having trouble staying on topic?

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

LOL. That’s the best you can do?

I posted the above list and I’m not OP.

Jacobins being jacobins.

I thought so. OP is getting marching orders from The Daily Mail, which printed a hit piece “Woke College Punished” piece this week. Otherwise, the only reporting on Oberlin lately is stuff like Chamber music concerts and athletic recruits.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10999721/Woke-Oberlin-College-hit-4m-dragging-heels-paying-36m-family-run-bakery.html

Now, this doesn’t answer the question of why a British tabloid care about a Midwestern American SLAC (I think we know the answer to this). But it does explain why OP is convinced that all of Europe hates a college that 99% of the citizens have never heard of.

OP— this random Oberlin hate posting is getting tiresome. Next time you start one of these thread with no actual news backing it up, ai will start ten new threads rehashing 5+ year scandals at various other colleges. Watch this forum for an example of this.

So, get all the Oberlin venom out now. Seriously, let all that anger and outrage out. Getting this upset for this long about something that happened more than 5 years ago at a small Midwestern college you have no connection to can’t be good you.
