Oberlin’s lament: Don’t let our malicious social-justice defamation put us out of business; Update: Jury hits Oberlin with $22M max punitive award

Ed MorrisseyPosted at 3:21 pm on June 13, 2019

The jury in the lawsuit against Oberlin College resumed deliberations today after attorneys for both sides wrapped up their closing arguments on punitive damages. Oberlin’s attorneys earlier called college officials to plead poverty, noting that the $11 million award for damages to the Gibson’s bakery business was large enough to get the point across. There’s no need to “pour gasoline on fires,” Oberlin’s vice president argued during testimony, and a real chance that the college could be forced to shut its doors:

     Representing the Gibson family, attorney Owen Rarric said that the college has over $1.4 billion in total assets. He pointed out that the college’s endowment is $887 million. He stated that annual student charges for tuition and room and board are roughly $70,000.

That college has been a Marxist haven for decades. Not mourning its current self-inflicted woes.

This tidbit

Oberlin argued at trial that it isn’t liable because its students, not the college, were to blame for harming Gibson’s. Then, at the damages phase, Oberlin argued that the college shouldn’t be slammed with a big damages assessment because that outcome would harm its students.
