Things are Changing Radically for our Radical College Educational Industry

Ahh! Are your expectations disappointed? Toughie has a sad. Please enlighten me. What is your definition of "respectable payback"? Pretty damn vague.

 

Go back to being a teacher's aide.

 

No one at Oberlin College who was involved in this travesty will ever pay the price. The cost of this payout will be borne by future students. More liberal shit causing turmoil. What else is new?

Bakery owner speaks out after Oberlin College ordered to pay her $36 mill for false racial profiling claim

Compensation expects to cover legal fees, accrued interest and awarded damages

December 18, 2022

An Ohio bakery owner is speaking out after her business reeled in $36 million following a court order demanding Oberlin College to compensate her family-owned business over a false accusation of racial profiling during a shoplifting incident.

"It is definitely bittersweet," Gibson's Bakery owner Lorna Gibson said Sunday on "Fox & Friends Weekend."

"It took a tremendous toll [on my family]. A lot of stress, a lot of financial toll. It definitely hit us hard."

The incident arose in Nov. 2016 when Allyn Gibson, the son of Gibson’s Bakery and Food Mart owners David Gibson and Allyn Gibson, chased and tackled a Black student who was suspected of stealing a bottle of wine on Nov. 9 of that year. Two students at Oberlin College, who are also Black and were friends with the student who stole the bottle, got involved in the incident, which became physical.

In 2017, the owners of Gibson’s Bakery and Food Mart sued Oberlin College, alleging that the school had libeled them and caused harm to their business.

Oberlin College students protested outside the bakery following the shoplifting incident. During a protest, former Oberlin College vice president and dean of students Meredith Raimondo handed out flyers stating that the bakery was a "RACIST establishment with a LONG ACCOUNT of RACIAL PROFILING and DISCRIMINATION," according to court documents.

College resources were also used to print flyers and buy food and other supplies to support the protesters. The school also stopped buying food from the bakery.

The years-long case concluded earlier this year when the college's attempts to overturn a jury's decision that they had defamed the bakery ended with a massive $36 million payout.

Representing attorney Brandon McHugh and an Oberlin College spokesperson confirmed the payout earlier this year.

The compensation is expected to cover damages awarded, legal fees, and interest accrued.

Lee Plakas, an attorney representing the bakery, who joined ‘Fox & Friends Weekend’ alongside Gibson, said Sunday that the "unfortunate takeaway" from the case is that Oberlin refuses to own up to its role in wreaking havoc on Gibson's business.

"This should've really been a teaching moment for the college… and the students learned, they admitted their guilt, they apologized and went forward," he told co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy on Sunday.

Responding to a Sept. 8 statement from Oberlin, Plakas added that, "The college still doesn't get it… the teachers refused to be taught or accept the lesson."

Gibson said she hopes that similar incidents will call into question what actually happened before people jump to conclusions or cling to one perspective.

She also added that the bakery's plan is to remain open for the foreseeable future.

Oberlin College, responding to the court's order in the Sept. 8 statement, said it was "disappointed" by the decision, but hoped it could signal healing for the community.

"We are disappointed by the Court's decision. However, this does not diminish our respect for the law and the integrity of our legal system," the statement read. "This matter has been painful for everyone. We hope that the end of the litigation will begin the healing of our entire community."

Says the village idiot that has never seen the inside of a classroom.

 

You’ve been schooled on this subject before, and obviously didn’t care to retain what countered your claims. I’m not going to waste my time doing so again because you’ll just ignore it again.

If you believe that your insider knowledge somehow better qualifies you as an authority on the value of college education than consumers who have to pay for it, and then try to earn a return on that investment, you’re mistaken.

 

I love the Moen faucet reference.

 

Like me P is well endowed You on the other hand appear to not be fully informed. When you get back to the wiki page check out the alumnus list

P actually takes in the full tuition etc for each and every student. There is not cost shifting. Ain't cheap to live and learn in castle like buildings with top notch staff. Have you seen who teaches there? Wiki that.

Your fabricated assumption of how it might work is like your view on so much that you really don't know about, as you frequently demonstrate in many threads on many topics.

Many of the students ride free. For example if you are poor but a national merit scholar and they accept you ( and they always do - even if it means to the exclusion of the well to do with cash in hand) the full ride is automatic. This happens to be true of all universities participating in that NMS program. So the student has a choice of about as many as they apply to. I have never heard of any NMS being turned down anywhere. Have you? Usually all the app fees are waved and the various places provide all sorts of incentives. Hard to visit all those places in just one summer. But it sure beats the pants off a summer job.

If you think about this, P is not making exceptional peeps. They are harvesting them and providing an environment tools and resources for them to achieve full potential and be successful for the betterment of mankind. Regardless if their future endeavors are financially rewarding. $ is not the metric. Might be Greenpeace.

Odd that anyone would take offense at that or the graduates.

Not to piss ya off but the summers abroad are also included free as well as flights home and back during the year.

Enough. Please stop making stuff up. It is unbecoming.

Just send me the coin and charge the other guy double

I know, I know. I learned from you the uneducated, and brainwashed PU genius.

A forum is a playground for little Trolls like you to write anything you wish and refuse to defend what you write when you actually bother to respond at all.

 

@freshmeat

The way you underperform on PL is such a sad reflection on PU. Man up genius and start answering direct questions.

 

Fabulous job, Charley!
