Is there more to this story? I'm honestly pretty shocked by this. The college basically got into hot water for having its Dean show up at a protest holding a flyer.

#13This case is so egregious, in a just world there would be a criminal case too. 2 members of the bakery family have died as Oberlin has dragged this out.

Oberlin drove the bakery out of business while knowing full well that the bakery did nothing wrong. The kid that got caught shoplifting plead guilty and he also outright stated that racism was not involved.

#18“ The message to other colleges is to have the intestinal fortitude to be the adult in the room” That seems to be the most apt conclusion. Being an educational institution should involve more than just indulging the students. It should also challenge them and be measured in their responses to events, even if that means being unpopular with students.
Being an educational institution should involve more than just indulging the students The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) free-speech rankings seem like a good proxy for this: https://www.thefire.org/research/publications/student-survey...
Ranking #135, Speech Climate: Slightly Below Average
So, pretty normal.Re: After a Legal Fight, Oberlin Says It Will Pay $36.59M to a Local Bakery

This doesn't necessarily go against your point, but I have seen far too many innocent people coerced into pleading guilty to actually believe someone is guilty based on a guilty plea.

Died of what? Emotional stress? Financial hardship? (Just asking)
