Oberlin College refuses to take responsibility for its own administrators' defaming and retaliating against a bakery whose race-neutral anti-shoplifting policy enraged Oberlin students. Following a judgment of $25 million in damages and $6.5 million in attorney's fees and expenses, the judge has agreed to stay the execution of his judgment – but it will cost Oberlin. Judge John Miraldi ordered the Ohio liberal arts college to post a bond of more than $36 million to cover the judgment plus interest while Oberlin appeals. Without explaining his reasoning, he approved the exact amount the Gibson's Bakery plaintiffs had asked Oberlin to pay in lieu of letting them collect on the judgment immediately.

He'll rule on its motions by Sept. 9. Read More |
