Heh, heh. Maybe President Trump will buy Oberlin and turn it into a golf course.

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Yep.

Good news!

[conservative98]

“Several commenters mention Oberlin College going to federal court. That is a long, long, long shot. The appeal would be from the Ohio Supreme Court to the U.S. Supreme Court. The likelihood the U.S. Supreme Court would agree to hear a case the Ohio Supreme Court refused to hear is not zero, but it’s approaching zero. I would not be shocked if they tried, but they would have to obtain another stay of enforcement of the judgment from the U.S. Supreme Court, another major hurdle that has little likelihood of success.”

OR, perhaps, deed it over to Hillsdale, College of the Ozarks or one of the other TRUE INDEPENDENT Colleges!

Oberlin has posted a bond through an insurance company that guarantees the settlement — plus interest — will eventually be paid to the Gibsons.

I believe one of the conditions of the bond is that Oberlin must exhaust every available avenue of appeal before it can be paid. So I’d say it’s almost a certainty that they will have to appeal this decision to the Federal courts.

They are just trying to wait out the lives of the plaintiffs.
If I were them, if they haven’t, I would have them keep their lawyers on for life based the eventual awarding of the lawsuit and then have a charity set up to receive it.

[gibsonguy]

It’s a drop in the bucket for the College and the vindictive bastards will probably appeal to a Federal Court.

[hinckley buzzard]

I believe the “plaintiff” is the business, a family owned enterprise, which has no limit to its life span.

[Republican Wildcat]

a majority of the Justices on the Ohio Supreme Court recognized that the deplorable conduct of Oberlin College could not be camouflaged by misleading claims of free speech.”

Indeed. Defamation is not protected free speech...unlike what some on this forum have argued recently.

[PGR88]

Its exactly schools like Oberlin who are supported by the massive Fed.gov student loan scam.

[tflabo]

Oberlin should have plenty of millions ripping off the students (or taxpayers) for their bloated tuitions and fees. Justice prevailed here.

[griswold3]

Are the Insurance company lawyers assisting Oberlin?

[traditional2]

"Its exactly schools like Oberlin who are supported by the massive Fed.gov student loan scam."

Will this be yet another Federal Government Bailout foisted on the Taxpayers, somehow? ONLY progressive institutions, businesses, and banks are ALWAYS enriched by the Taxpayer via "Force of Law".

[Alberta's Child]

I don’t think so. The insurance company does have their own attorneys representing its interest in the case, though.

[2001convSVT]

Yes, when do the Gibson’ get paid! Maybe they can start by listing college buildings for sale?

[rktman]

They still wont pay.

[Jacquerie]

Oberlin’s insurance co. will pay.

Then, the insurance co. will take Oberlin to the cleaners.

Interest piles up at around $5,000/day.

Oberlin almost certainly had to put up substantial assets — including its real estate — as “collateral” for the bond.
