Looks like another loser lawsuit for Oberlin.

[The_Media_never_lie]

This just makes my day.

[Liberty Ship]

Looks like Oberlin has an endowment of $1,200,000,000.00 as of 2002.

$1.2 BILLION. BILLION!

Pay up.

[ConservativeInPA]

I bet they didn’t buy the slander clause. And these academic types think they are so smart 😂

[17th Miss Regt]

Liberals trying to avoid the consequences of their own actions...

[dfwgator]

Why not? They’ve gotten away with it for the last 60 years.

[DeplorablePaul]

“After a years long legal battle, Oberlin agreed to pay the massive sum” This is an odd sentence. Oberlin, like spoiled brats, was FORCED to pay up after delaying as long as possible.

On the bright side, there haven’t been any college administrators inciting mobs lately. The commie witch Raimondo clearly thought she could call out the Red Guard to Mau Mau the bakery into submission. Too bad she was personally responsible for damages.

The insurers were covering Oberlin college administration and staff for risks incurred while doing their job.

What part of Oberlin College vice president Meredith Raimondo's job involved her slandering a business owner, on the clock, using college resources, and directing students to join in?

Suck it, Libtards!

[Track9]

I hope Trump trolls these creeps. Being psychopath bullies, I’m sure they ‘trigger’ easily.

[RoosterRedux]

Insurance companies are notoriously good at writing their policies in ways that make lawsuits against them difficult to win.

Good luck with that, Oberlin College. The only winners will be the lawyers.

[dfwgator]

Indeed.

[bert]

Aahhh..... thanks for that.

The Insurors had no liability

[nwrep]

Hahahaha.

[Oystir]

Intentional acts are rarely insured.

[Salman]

They will lose their liability insurance. Win or lose (and most likely lose), no one will insure them now.

Can Oberlin legally stay in existence as an institution without liability insurance?

[oldplayer]

Strangely, I feel myself being drawn to support the insurance companies in this dispute. Wow. Who would have thought that would EVER happen?

[silent majority rising]

Oberlin College needs to explain the need for Oberlin College. It appears that they don’t really teach anything, but are there to provide liberal covers.

A brief Googling suggests Ohio may not require it of them, though I’d expect the opposite. Even if it is required, given their endowment, they could probably self-insure.
