Re: Oberlin College Forced To Pay Local Bakery $11 Million In Racial Hoax Defamation Case

I wonder what has or will happen to Dean Raimondo. While the President of Oberlin (according to the original link) signed the initial email accusing the bakery, it was the dean who participated in the boycotts and apparently helped with organizing the students. The rest of us understand that the approach of SJWs is to remove their own personal responsibilities for their actions. But at some point, the chickens of a $33M+ judgement are likely to come home to roost. Will she still have her job? If not, will she be able to get a job at another college?

Maybe, maybe not. I'm seeing articles that say the college's insurer says the awards are not covered. If Oberlin has to pay out of pocket for the current award and the possible $22M punitive award they will possibly have to close. They have significant financial difficulties already.

In the grander scheme of things, the closing of Oberlin College may be the best possible outcome. I see no other path to reining in the obviously out of control higher education establishment in this country. I'm not even sure that Oberlin closing will send that message loudly enough but it is at least a start. Educators and the organizations associated with them seem to operate with immunity from the consequences of any of their actions. Fixing that needs to start somewhere.
