Earlier today we ran excerpts of certain additional records produced by the Oberlin Police Department with regard to The Great Oberlin Racism Hoax of 2013, including portions of Oberlin College incident reports, in response to an Open Records request from Legal Insurrection.
In the post this morning, we mentioned that Oberlin College played some role as to which material would be redacted by the police, and also alerted students of the release in advance.
Subsequent to our post, we were forwarded by someone on campus the following email from the Oberlin Dean of Students last night blaiming the blogosphere for pressing for the records.
Sorry, but Oberlin has no one to blame but the Oberlin administrations own cover-up of this hoax.

As we have documented before, and as the records released this morning further demonstrate, the Oberlin administration knew no later than February 27 that this was a hoax by students trolling for a reaction. There were no KKK supporters or Neo-Nazis prowling the hallways and buildings.
Yet the Oberlin administration never told the students, the alumni, or the media. Instead, the Oberlin administration allowed students to live in fear.
In the email last night, there still is no acknowledgement that the primary culprit behind this was a liberal pro-Obama anti-racist activist, and that it was not what it seemed. Oberlin thereby furthers the damage done by the hoax.
Instead of being upfront with the community, on March 4
Sounds like the administration all have doctorates in Verbal Tap-dancing and Obfuscation.
This should be a super-big scandal, but instead it’s swept under the rug.
Most of these media hyped hate crimes turn out to be hoaxes, which doesn’t get the media attention that the breathlessly reported hate crime received
There are few people more arrogant and protected from reality as are college administrators.
Almost all of these media hyped hate crimes turn out to be hoaxes.
Actually, can you cite one that was not? There may be one somewhere but I have not heard it.
The more the media hypes it, the more you can be sure it's fake.

This person needs to be identified by Oberlin -- and punished accordingly. Just like the boys in the faux Duke rape case were immediately identified.
