#1 HALLELUJAH!

A sad note: "As satisfying as this must be to the Gibson family, it also must be bittersweet because the two lead plaintiffs and the patriarchs of the family did not live to see the appeals court verdict:
- David Gibson of Gibson’s Bakery has passed away. (November 16, 2019)
- “Grandpa” Allyn W. Gibson of Gibson’s Bakery Passes Away At Age 93 (February 14, 2022)

Fuck the Oberlin administrator-bastards. Fuck then and their lawyers fircwhat they did to these kind, decent, normal people:

"as David Gibson revealed when he announced his cancer diagnosis after the verdict, Oberlin College dragged out the case knowing David was terminally ill."

#4 Are there any Ohioans who can weigh in?

Is Ohio potentially another Florida -- ie a center of the Resistance to woke insanity and creeping dictatorship?

...Grew up a short drive from Oberlin, and even then (late 60s, early 70s) it was known as 'Moscow-On-Route-57'. The school has been living on its mid 19th century reputation for way too long, and may be about to hit something of a wall.

The school was originally intending to pay damages out of their endowment fund, and since it's just shy of one billion dollars, $33M USD would have effectively cost the school nothing. Trouble is that the alumni who contributed so much of that money are adamantly opposed to any of it going for the damages...which means it will come out of Oberlin's insurance. And that's going to cost them bigly.

There's also the fact that the College - faculty and students alike - hate the locals, and the locals return the favor. The locals are kind of a microcosm of the rest of the state: politically center-liberal, socially VERY conservative. Politics at the state level have been inching rightward for a while now, and if the Democrats do enough damage, I can see cities like Cleveland and Toledo digging in and saying 'enough'.

#6 Meredith Raimondo should be paying her own penalty $ - I doubt the insurance will find she acted within her duties and job requirements

#7 I forget who that RINO governor or senator was from Ohio and, I think, made a half-a$$ attempt to run for president.

Also, there was/is a congressman who was all for impeaching Trump.

Almost makes me yearn for Dennis Kucinich.

The College, the staff, and its alumni have learned an important lesson today. Hate Speech, Lies, and organizing protests based on them costs Big Buck$

BTW: The College Demographics show that the enrolled student population at Oberlin College, is 60.4% White, and only 5.41% Black or African American. In short a White LIBERAL college.

NOTE: The former Dean of Students Meredith Raimondo is a White Female and is now VP of Student Affairs at Oglethorpe University in the Metro-Atlanta GA. area.

☺ Just what Atlanta needs another transplanted Yankee Liberal. Coming down here to tell us how they did it up north to screw up everything...☺

NN,

I wish that was the lesson they learned. All Oberlin, its students, faculty, and administration know now is that Those Deplorable Hicks beyond the Quad are racist/unwoke/otherwise icky, and this just proves it.

That's rich NN. Emory U reminds me of Antioch College in Yellow Springs Ohio. Birth place of LSD (or so they say).

#11 Guess I'm lucky to have attended Miami U. in Ohio before all the BS ramped up (late 1970's). My MS thesis advisor flew P-51s during WWII. He didn't put up with any crap...

#12 I am an Ohioan. My younger brother graduated from Oberlin; I went to a service academy. We have compared notes. Oberlin is a little isolated to be attractive to any non-hardcore liberals. I think there are several other equally liberal schools around the state that have better parties.

With respect to being like Florida, Ohio is a conglomeration of communities that either have Trump or BLM signs in the front yard. All the working class towns are solidly pro-Trump. The affluent towns tend to be liberal, but the majority is MAGA. The biggest difference is in leadership. Jordan is the exception not the rule. Dewine resembles Desantis in the same way that a jelly donut resembles a Porterhouse steak. I guess their last names start with D so they are alike in that regard

#14 I forget who that RINO governor or senator was from Ohio and, I think, made a half-a$$ attempt to run for president.

Governor John Kasich ran for president twice, DooDahMan, in 2000 and 2016. Before that he was a congressman for nearly two decades.

Mike DeWine is Ohio’s current governor. He’s conservative for a country club Republican. Or possibly he’s anti-Trump for a conservative Republican. His career covers all the bases: public prosecutor, congressman, lieutenant governor, senator, Ohio attorney general, now this.

#15 He is the only GOP governor to implement the kill gramma policy that plaques deep blue states. The Ohio death toll matches that policy. Nobody has noticed that yet.

#16 My answer to #4
Ohio is no Florida
SW Ohio Resident most of life.
Ohio Governor, Mike Dewine is a RINO who faked covid to avoid standing on stage with Trump during the Presidential campaign. He is for red flag laws, but signed CCW into law. He raised property tax significantly, increased gas tax for road improvement, is heavily involved in the First Energy Scandal that brought down the House Speaker.
Current canidates running for Governor are weak from both parties.
Lt. Governor John Husted is the capitol's pajama boy. Life long politician, like nails on chalkboard to listen to him speak.
A knowledgeable Columbus lobbyist acquaintance of mine suggests Dewine will be reelected and retire two years into his term, turning over the reigns to Husted, good ol' boy that he is.
The House and Senate are majority Republican and conservative but can be bribed.
Liberals run the big cities and the rest of the state is conservative.
it will be a long time before Ohio is like Florida.

#18 Alumni of Oberlin include Nobel prize winners. accomplished musicians, public intellectuals (including some conservatives).

I suspect many of the alumni already regret their donations to the Oberlin endowment. Too bad there is no way to claw it back.

#19 Oberlin's Chair of the Board of Trustees is Chris Canavan. He's a Soros tool.

Canavan is Managing Director of Lion’s Head Global Partners, a financial advisory firm that specializes in sustainable development. Lion’s Head has offices in London, New York, Nairobi and Lagos. Prior to joining Lion’s Head, Chris was Director of Global Policy Development at SorosFund Management, where he spent nine years working on a variety of initiatives for the firm’s founder.

Not just the alumni. A lot of faculty are furious as well. Oberlin used to stand for free inquiry and free speech. The current administration are a bunch of bozos. There's a deep divide between the admins and the faculty
