Oberlin College REFUSES to pay $33m in damages to family-run bakery that called cops on three black students for shoplifting, only for bully dean to falsely accuse them of racial profiling and set woke mob on them
daily mail ^

Oberlin College was ordered by Ohio's state appeals court to pay Gibson's Bakery the sum on April 1, but continues to contest the payout, and says it is considering its options.

The bakery was wrongly accused of racism after calling the police on three Oberlin black students for shoplifting a bottle of wine.

One of its workers - Allyn Gibson - was even attacked by the three shoplifters after refusing to hand over a fake ID, and demanding they hand over the stolen wine.

That trio were later convicted - but not before Oberlin went along with its students' union's claim that their arrests had been as a result of racial profiling.

Shockingly, the college's then dean of students, Meredith Raimondo, helped circle the wagons, and even distributed leaflets accusing Gibson's of racial profiling in an attempt to destroy the 137 year-old business.

The arrogant academic even texted another dean to share her desire to unleash another woke mob on an academic who blasted Oberlin's bullying of Gibson's.

She wrote: 'F**k him. I’d say unleash the students if I wasn’t convinced this needs to be put behind us.'

Despite her disgraceful lies and bullying, the 52 year-old was allowed to stay with the college, and stepped down at the end of 2021 to take up a position at Oglethorpe College in Georgia.

Former Dean of Students and Vice President Meredith Raimondo stoked protests against Gibson's Bakery following the shoplifting incident, even though the claims were found to be totally false. She has since been blamed for much of the behavior that has seen Oberlin ordered to pay $35 million for defamation, with Raimondo since moving to a college in Atlanta

The Gibson’s need to petition the court to levy Oberlin’s accounts and start selling off their property. Any insurers need to be forced to pay up immediately. Oberlin has no right to leisurely “consider their options”.

This is a matter of jurisdiction, and the college doesn’t have to pay.

Courts do not have jurisdiction over liberals. /s

One has to wonder who at Oglethorpe made the decision to hire this cretin.

Oberlin college has $936 million in endowments. It can easily afford to pay Gibsons in cash.

Oglethorpe is less than 10 miles from me.

Is it to the left of Berkeley? Raimondo is a very controversial hire for any college/university that wants to attract conservative students. I was surprised to learn that she found work.

Colleges are how communists support themselves; are cover for their lack of marketable skills.

They’re a liberal arts college, but they’ve seemed somewhat sensible. This is insane.

If I were the judge, I would give the College one week to pay up or the award will be doubled for every week’s delay.

Lots of enthusiasm for self immolation among leftists. Are they pushing for some kind of pardon or overturning the ruling?

The lawyers should’ve told the idiots that the bakers will own all of Oberlin if they keep it up

Take the money from their endowments.

The endowments are likely one thing they can't touch. The endowments would be earmarked for specific purposes and trying to use them for something like a lawsuit would negate the endowments and the money would go to another institution or back to the donors.

I am sure the lawyers know how to get a writ of execution to satisfy the judgement. The college is simply trying to make headlines, but it will cost them.

The bakery can put liens on the college and attach property. They have to do it with their own lawyers and accountants, though. The state’s order is teiling the lawsuit winner what he can do, not itself taking the necessary actions.
