Gibson’s, a restaurant and bakery near Oberlin College, can now collect $36 million from Oberlin for defamation over racism claims, according to a court ruling.

The Ohio Supreme Court made the ruling — the decision was 4-3.



4-3??? WOW!

The Ohio Supreme Court just refused to accept jurisdiction over Oberlin College’s appeal (the Court also refused to hear the Gibsons’ appeal seeking to reinstate the full punitive damages award). It was a 4-3 decision, and it means the Gibsons now can collect approximately $36 million.

It was a 4-3 decision by the Supreme Court not to take the case, meaning it is a final judgment at the intermediate level. Doesn't indicate 3 supreme court judges held for the college.

Good. It’s not that bad, maybe. It’s 4-3 not to hear the appeal at all so that ends the case. The 3 who wanted to hear may have found for the college, but I hope not. I see no way the college should have won this one.

Now if we could just punish democrats for declaring us racists.

Politicians should be held to the same standard.

Reading the article, BLM was involved in this mess as well. BLM is worth many millions now. They also might be a good target for a lawsuit.

As I understand it the faculty member responsible just moved to another institution. Absolutely no accountability for her.

Ohio Supreme Court denied Oberlin’s appeal and ruled that the school must pay us $36 million. But even with this most recent ruling, the college, which has about a billion dollars’ worth of assets at its disposal, still refuses to pay.

Sounds like some of the students from that council needed to be sued as well.

If oberlin still refuses to pay the Sheriff should arrest the college president and the chief financial officer, then seize its’ assets and have a sheriff ‘s sale to liquidate the bitch.

Good.

The key will be if university attorneys take heed and start trying to reign in baseless claims of racism.

The students are just a symptom of the disease. The disease is that school. Eradicate the disease.
