In reply to Steve. Your observations are right on from my perspective. Speaking as a former Air Force Officer, the best way to handle this kind of sh*t is to talk about it as openly and honestly as you can. Unfortunately, this approach to killing rumors and preserving morale is apparently considered to be militaristic and inappropriate for as enlightened a place as Oberlin College.

Hi Mr. Dial, Thank you for creating this website. I've learned a lot! Two thoughts come to mind:

I haven't heard a peep from any of the organizations that joined the appeal over the "free speech" issue (American Booksellers Association, WEWS TV news in Cleveland, etc.). Not a word of disappointment that the appeal was denied. I bet there's a backstory here.
The Oberlin Review hasn't been published since March 25. I realize they had spring break, but aren't they late? I'm curious to see their take on the appeal being denied. I assume they're going to address it eventually, rather than let time go by and eventually carry on as if nothing significant happened. What do you think?

I cannot put into words the disgust I feel for this “institution of higher learning.” (That is a misnomer.) My daughter is almost done her studies there, and I deeply regret she went to Oberlin at all, but we did not know of this case when she was accepted, nor how insane this school really is. I will never give this school another dime. I am so sorry for what the Gibsons went through, and am glad justice prevailed for them, and I will continue to patronize their store every chance I get. Shame, shame, shame on Oberlin’s morally bankrupt administration and the poor example they set for their students. I would never recommend this school to anyone, ever. So grateful Ohio still has some honorable judges.

Another good overview of the case is here: https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/03/appeals-court-upholds-gibsons-bakery-massive-verdict-against-oberlin-college/

In reply to Bob.

Firing Raimondo prior to the final disposition of the case would be construed as an admission of liability. She’ll stay as long as she possibly can — because this is likely her last job in academia.

Same is true of Ambar. I reckon this is the last time she’ll ever be hired to lead any organization.
