Remember the fight between Gibson’s Bakery and Oberlin College in 2016? It seems so long ago, but it isn’t over yet.  You can read about it on the relevant Wikipedia page, or on the many posts I wrote about it at the time.  If you forget, here’s the summary from Wikipedia: The case began in … Continue reading Oberlin College sues its insurers for refusing to reimburse it for the damages levied in the Gibson’s Bakery case

Oberlin seems to be in trouble once again—for fostering antisemitism

Oberlin is once again looking bad, and for the third time (remember the Gibson’s Bakery issue and the College’s deep-sixing the women’s lacrosse coach for saying that trans women shouldn’t compete in sports with biological women?) This time they’re being investigated by the feds for a Title VI violation (this is from the New York … Continue reading Oberlin seems to be in trouble once again—for fostering antisemitism

Oberlin makes another terrible move, refusing to give back artwork stolen by the Nazis from a Jew

In the past couple of years, Oberlin College, a liberal arts school in Ohio, has embarrassed itself twice, costing it both big bucks and its reputation. The first episode was the Gibson’s Bakery fracas, when, after catching admitted student shoplifters stealing wine, Gibson’s was then punished, defamed, and accused of racism by Oberlin.

Oberlin denied a new trial in the Gibson’s Bakery case

From the beginning, Legal Insurrection (LI) has had the best continuing covering of the Oberlin vs. Gibson’s Bakery case (see here for a list of my posts on the matter). Yes, it’s a right-wing site (I always have to apologize for this, but not for citing the New York Times or Salon!), but LI‘s reporting … Continue reading Oberlin denied a new trial in the Gibson’s Bakery case

The Gibson Bakery versus Oberlin College case: a good summary

Quillette is being unfairly demonized in many quarters as an “alt-right” site, with many of those who write there (and that includes me) compared to white supremacists. But the demonization occurs largely because the site doesn’t hew entirely to the ideology of the Woke Left. And yes, there are some conservative positions taken at Quillette, … Continue reading The Gibson Bakery versus Oberlin College case: a good summary

Oberlin digs in, appealing Gibson’s Bakery case with high-priced legal team and recasting case as “free speech issue”

I’ve followed the case of Gibson’s Bakery v. Oberlin College from the outset, and because there’s now a Wikipedia article on the case, I needn’t review the whole mishigass here.  The upshot is that after Oberlin’s administrators aided students in an unjustified protest against the claimed racism of the bakery (a racism that proved nonexistent), … Continue reading Oberlin digs in, appealing Gibson’s Bakery case with high-priced legal team and recasting case as “free speech issue”

Judge orders Oberlin College to pay Gibson’s Bakery $6.5 million in fees and expenses on top of the $25 million award for damages

I won’t go into detail about the lawsuit against Oberlin College filed by Gibson Bakery and Market for defamation, slander and libel; you can read the details in my previous posts. In short, after the local market detained three Oberlin students for shoplifting and assault (they later pleaded guilty), both the students and Oberlin went … Continue reading Judge orders Oberlin College to pay Gibson’s Bakery $6.5 million in fees and expenses on top of the $25 million award for damages
