Oberlin College Kicked in the Pants
for Protecting Its Black Sacred Cows from Consequences
*
“The jury recognized Oberlin College’s bullying tactics. The students admitted
their misconduct, but Oberlin College could never admit that they were wrong.
They presumed that they could bring the Gibsons to their knees.
The power of truth has enabled the Gibson family to survive Oberlin’s onslaught.”

Defamed bakery finally seals $36M victory over Oberlin after court rejects college’s appeal

The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected a request to hear Oberlin College’s appeal of a verdict against the private, Ohio school — meaning the family-owned bakery that won a defamation lawsuit against the institution can finally collect on the multi-million judgment it was awarded by a jury in 2019.

Originally, the judgment against Oberlin was $44 million, but a state law limited the final amount to $25 million, plus $6 million in attorney’s fees. Interest on the judgment has raised the total to about $36 million.

“On behalf of the Gibson family and the trial team, truth still matters, David can still overcome Goliath,” the Gibsons and their attorneys said in a statement sent to several news outlets after the decision came in.

In a statement to the Chronicle-Telegram, Oberlin College expressed disappointment.

“Oberlin is disappointed that the Ohio Supreme Court has chosen not to hear our appeal of the Gibson’s Bakery judgment against the college,” the college said. “The issues raised by this case have been challenging, not only for the parties involved, but for the entire Oberlin community.”
