Oberlin College Administrator Testifes That Oberlin Is Worse Than a Nursery School

Legal Insurrection took a victory lap this weekend, tweeting out excerpts from their daily coverage of the Oberlin defamation trial.

Some choice cuts below:

First: Oberlin adminstrator says that the school had to be cautious about contradicting student shouting about racism, otherwise they'd throw their food on the floor in the cafeteria.

He admits that is sub-nursery school behavior.


Meredith Raimondo claimed that her actions consisted of trying to calm down students and, to the extent she was involved at all, she was only trying to safeguard their rights to free speech.

Testimony from witnesses say that she was a ringleader of the defamatory protests and pulled the Melissa Click "We need muscle over here" type move of trying to keep journalists from photographing participants in the lynching.


Oh, and they say she handed out the defamatory flyers.




A former head of security of Oberlin, Rick McDaniel, offered this stunning testimony: that a college official threatened to key his car if he didn't stop taking pictures.

McDaniel also went downtown when he heard the protests had started. He said when he got to the small downtown he noticed a large group of students, which he described as "Anger. Noise, Venom ... [students] very angry and disturbed and irate and they wanted to take it out on somebody."

McDaniel said he started taking pictures with his cell phone, and a young man came up to him and started blocking his phone with flyers in his hand. McDaniel said he kept moving and the man moved with him, blocking his ability to take picture over and over. "I'm with the college," the man answered when the former Oberlin College police chief asked him why he was blocking his ability to take pictures.

McDaniel testified he found out later the man hounding him over picture taking was Julio Reyes, associate director of the school's multi-resource center. "He was attempting to intimidate me and I don’t intimidate easily," McDaniel said.

McDaniel testified he found out later the man hounding him over picture taking was Julio Reyes, associate director of the school's multi-resource center. "He was attempting to intimidate me and I don't intimidate easily," McDaniel said.

"I told him 'I'm going to just going to wait until your silly ass leaves and [I'll] start taking pictures again without you trying to block me,.'" McDaniel testified. He answered that he was going to come back when I wasn't looking and key my car."

Remember, Oberlin College was just a spectator in this. They were just trying to de-escalate the situation. Swearsies.

Here, Meredith Raimondo admitted that she had no idea if it was true or false that Gibson's had a history of racial profiling:



Tim Pool pointed out that these answers satisfied the "malice" standard for defamation -- Raimondo admitted she did not know if the claims were true or false, but, per the other testimony from reporters and cops noted above, made them anyway.

"Unleash the students," Meredith Raimondo said she'd do if she weren't convinced Oberlin needed to bury this.

In one email, Ben Jones, the vice president of communications for the school wrote to his co-executives in the school administration that, "I love how these Gibson supporters accuse us of making rash assumption decisions, but are totally blind to their own assumptions ... all these idiots complain about the college."

He closed with, "Fuck-em... they've made their own bed now."

When Roger Copeland, an Oberlin College professor of theater and dance (he is "emeritus" status now) wrote a letter to the campus newspaper soon after the protests ended, and criticized how the school was treating Gibson's in the letter, Jones sent a text message in caps saying, "FUCK ROGER COPELAND."

"Fuck him," Raimondo responded in a message. "I'd say unleash the students if I wasn't convinced this needs to be put behind us."

Raimondo was given these examples and others and then asked a very simple question. "When personal beliefs get involved in decision making, does that have an effect on trying to maintain professional responsibility?" asked plaintiffs' attorney Lee Plakas. She was asked specifically about herself and the higher-ups in the Oberlin College administration.

Her answer was quite surprising.

"Their position is to not have a position," she said.

Jurors were seen visibly shaking their heads at this very-lawyered non-answer, Legal Insurrection reported.

103 A nursery school would have been much better controlled.I

My oldest and middle son went to day care when they were toddlers. I saw every day how hard the staff worked to de-escalate squabbles among the kids and teach the kids how to be polite to each other and the staff members themselves.

I took my granddaughter to the Y pool one time. At first, she was the only kid there. Then a little black girl close to her age got into the pool. My granddaughter immediately went up to this other girl and asked her if she would be her friend.

Between the time my kids were very young and when my grandkids were that age, something broke. The social niceties were hammered to pieces and thrown away.

Already happened, Jury found $11 Million in Compensatory Damages, then in the Punitive Damages hearing, added 3x Punitive Damages that for a total award of $44 million.

That could be reduced, since Ohio State Law says that maximum punitive damages can only be 2x compensatory damages. But, then again that may be like the Pirate's Code - more of a guideline than an actual rule.

113 Oberlin's been a tire fire in progress for a long time. When I took my daughter to Bard College's program for potential students in the mid 90s, the president, Leon Botstein, fielded questions on other colleges and universities and gave his opinion on every one of them. Leon is an egghead but one who is highly passionate about education and music and, in the latter field has done battle with the wackademics who consider him a hobbyist dabbling where he doesn't belong. Even over twenty years ago he thought Oberlin was losing its way, although at the time wasn't the lost cause of Antioch about which he shook his head.

None of this is surprising.

154 I don't know when the judge decides on whether to apply the statutory cap on the punitive damages (2x compensatory damages). My understanding is that, under Ohio law, that's a soft cap, so it is not mandatory.

Perhaps the plaintiffs can use the letter that Oberlin's president sent out after the verdicts, saying that it was wrong and they'd appeal and it wasn't over, etc., as evidence that Oberlin has not learned anything, and therefore the punitives award should stand and not be reduced.

The ill-fated Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was piloted by a "lonely and sad" captain who experimented with a flight profile almost identical to the aircraft's final doomed path - one that left a slim chance of finding remains or clues to what really happened in the skies that calamitous evening, a new report reveals.

179 This case should go down in law school books as the ultimate textbook case as to how a supposedly Premium Law Firm can completely destroy their clients case by incompetently pissing off the jury at every possible opportunity.

Like when Oberlin's "Expert" testified that the Bakery was only worth $35,000 so there couldn't possibly be any damage amount higher than that. The counsel for Gibson's, Plakas, asked him on the stand if he had actually gone to Gibson's store before he wrote up that report on how much it was worth, and the "Expert" replied (paraphrased, but not much) that no, he could paper whip that report in his NYC office, because he didn't need to go to that shit little town to know that every shop in it was worthless.

And yet Oberlin wonders why the Jury hated them so much.

Posted by: Jukin the Deplorable and Profoundly Unserious at June 17, 2019 03:43 PM

I think it's worse than that. It's looking away when certain students misbehave, which just encourages worse behavior. "Certain" can mean kids from certain families or academic/athletic superstars.

A few years ago, we had school administrators looking the other way when a couple minority students stole iPads and gave them to their uncle who resold them. Those administrators left, new local ones came, and a former cop took over discipline. Suddenly those kids got caught stealing and started suffering consequences, so they left the district. A couple stellar athletes were thrown off teams for violent behavior and verbal altercations with adults; they and their families were shocked that being a star player didn't grant immunity.

Oberlin is like our bad old days. A student journalist did a story about the epidemic of Oberlin students who stole from businesses in town; he admitted in the final paragraph that he had stolen from people he interviewed. That tells me that the administrators don't have and certainly don't follow their code of conduct. I'm old enough to remember when some Michigan football players were thrown out of dorms and put on a yearlong probation by AD Bo Schembechler because they bullied and stole from honors kids down the hall.

207 > 44 million is pocket change for these diploma-mills.


No, $44 million is gonna leave a big mark.

They have an endowment of about a billion, from what I've seen, but the thing with endowments is that they are not just a giant pile of cash that you can spend any way you want. The people who set them up generally put the money in some kind of trust or trust-like arrangement and the university gets the interest or other income from that investment. They don't get access to the principal.

If you figure a billion invested at a conservative 5% annual return, that's only $50 million a year.

$44 million is gonna blow a pretty big hole in that.

It's made even worse by the fact that endowments are often earmarked for very specific purposes -- "To plant trees on campus", "To fund the library's book collection", "To provide scholarships to deserving left-handed students of Lithuanian descent", and so on.
SOMETIMES you can get around those if you can convince the trustees and maybe a court that the original purpose is no longer valid (I think I heard of a case where there was an old endowment to purchase high-end slide rules for needy engineering students, and they managed to get permission to give the students computers instead).

However, "To fund the mob-rule actions of a crazed communist administrator" is unlikely to be one of the purposes the donors have named, nor is a court likely to look with favor at spending the library's book money to pay for that instead.

They're in big trouble.

And if the answer is that Hillary shouldn't be held responsible for the loose trigger Steele and his motivated actions--doesn't that suggest--and doesn't even the history on display suggest that this is even MORE chaos than simply listening to a rumor from a foreigner on your opponent?

Is the FBI going to *pay* your would be source, as well?

The suit also named Ms. Raimondo as a party besides the College. As I understand it, her contract with the school requires the College to pay off her share of the lawsuit. Which is good for the Gibsons because she would be lucky to come up with a $1.47, much less the Millions that are her share of the damages.

273 It's made even worse by the fact that endowments are often earmarked for very specific purposes -- "To plant trees on campus", "To fund the library's book collection", "To provide scholarships to deserving left-handed students of Lithuanian descent", and so on.
SOMETIMES you can get around those if you can convince the trustees and maybe a court that the original purpose is no longer valid (I think I heard of a case where there was an old endowment to purchase high-end slide rules for needy engineering students, and they managed to get permission to give the students computers instead).

However, "To fund the mob-rule actions of a crazed communist administrator" is unlikely to be one of the purposes the donors have named, nor is a court likely to look with favor at spending the library's book money to pay for that instead.

They're in big trouble.

The METANARRATIVE is where you find "morality" so anything you do in service of the metanarrative is intrinsically "moral."

Of course, when morality is "morality" ie there is no moral authority and "morality is just what is 'just' in service to your ideology and preferred political structure, lies are necessary and objective goods.

The issue is that communism, the ideology they're all in service to regardless of whether they know it or not REQUIRES lies. No one signs on if you told the truth about death camps, famine, disease, forced labor and murder.

327 Wasn't it the McCormick family, maybe the ones who made a pile selling
spices, who sued Princeton for taking the money they'd donated, under
contract, to support Western Civilization (or maybe specifically US
history) when those dickholes spent it on multiculti claptrap.
============
The Robertson (AP) family sued Princeton. The claim was for failing to train efficient government managers in the Woodrow Wilson School, and instead investing in all sorts of generalized education far afield of the intention. Princeton eventually settled by giving back the original money ($50 million) plus an indeterminate amount of "interest" and paying legal fees.

You might be thinking of the Bass brothers (Sid Bass primarily, iirc) donation to Yale, which was intended to support teaching American ideals and Western Civ to Freshmen (again, iirc). Yale instead decided to try to make everyone gay with the money (or something like that), or at least those few who weren't already, and Bass demanded his money back. It got ugly, but Yale eventually coughed up the dough.

I think you're wrong. An appeal is no freebie and unless lightning struck and Oberlin scored an outright reversal, it would actually put the Gibsons in an even better position than they are now. Here's my explanation from a comment I made at Powerline last week:

An appeal is no magic bullet here because of the need for an appeal bond.

In order to stay execution of the judgment during an appeal, Oberlin will need to post an appeal bond of at least 125% of the the full amount of the judgment. This means it will need to put up sufficient collateral to satisfy a surety to take on a $41 million risk. If the appeal fails, the plaintiff can then collect the judgment and post-judgment interest (at 4% in Ohio, apparently) from the surety. 4 percent of $33 million is $1.32 million a year, which makes the waiting by the Gibsons a lot more tolerable.

Posting an appeal bond will hurt Oberlin. It will cost millions to obtain and it will tie up the assets that are used as collateral. Possibly of more importance is that it will remove bankruptcy from the table as a negotiating threat. Bankruptcy threats will often factor heavily into negotiations to pay a huge judgment. If an appeal bond is filed, the plaintiffs won't care if Oberlin goes BK because they can always collect directly from the surety.

Also, if Oberlin loses the appeal court will probably order it to reimburse the Gibsons' attorneys fees. Thus, between the post-judgment interest, attorneys' fees and the cost of the appeal bond, an appeal will only dig a much deeper financial hole for Oberlin unless it gets the gold ring and overturns the verdict.

349 Plakas took Raimondo apart when he had her on the witness stand - Perry Mason would be proud. Some of that has already been posted, but my favorite moment was when he asked her if she had been handing out flyers accusing Gibson's of being a racist establishment, as a local reporter had said she was. He also said she had a bullhorn at the original protest and appeared to be directing it.

So Raimondo, when asked about this, said "No he's a liar, I wasn't doing any of that!" (She had previously and publicly stated that he had lied about her) Plakas then asked "Well he testified in this court that he had approached you and asked you for a flyer that day, and you personally gave him one. Is that true?"
Raimondo, knowing that other people had seen that and that she was now under oath, admitted that "yes, that is true."
So Plakas asked "well then, since he asked you for a flyer, and since you admit you gave him a flyer, is it fair for him to say you were handing out flyers that day?"
And Raimondo said "No he's a liar! He tells lies about me!!!"

and you can be sure that was the LAST time the Jury listened to any words coming out of her mouth. Plakas totally destroyed any shred of credibility she may have had on any topic with that exchange.

some details that will help with trolling

Rather than suggesting that some opinions are "off limits," Peterson said they will have a minimum required length so one has to put thought into what they write.

"If minimum comment length is 50 words, you're gonna have to put a little thought into it," Peterson said. "Even if you're being a troll, you'll be a quasi-witty troll."

All comments on the website will have a voting feature "and if your ratio of upvotes to downvotes falls below 50/50 then your comments will be hidden, people will still be able to see them, if they click, but you'll disappear." He later added a caveat saying that was still being mulled over and that "We don't know if 50/50 is right."

The platform, with its subscription-based service, will also directly subsidize content creators.

Definitely. Even as late as the time of Newton there was trouble because he refused to become ordained in the Church of England (probably the smartest guy who ever lived, but a real whackadoodle when it came to religion). Fortunately for him, there was one (and I believe, only one) professor slot at Cambridge that did not require that you be an active minister of the Gospel.

Newton argued that this made it okay for him to not even be ordained, and Charlie the 2th agreed. Because it was, well, Newton.

426 Education has become a racket and a sinecure for leftists that should be brought to an unceremonious end. This could be accomplished almost immediately by prohibiting tenure for professors and most especially for college administrators.

The immediate and long term solution to this acting out should also be the elimination of tax exemptions for all colleges and universities. Additionally, all financial aid should be financed by the colleges and universities themselves with no tax payer guarantee of repayment.

Students should be allowed to discharge in bankruptcy all students loans in the same way that any other debt can be discharged. And finally college and university trust funds should be taxed annually at the same rate as the annual income for ordinary tax payers. I would also tax tuition for foreign students at at least 100%. If a foreign student is on financial aid then that aid regardless of its source should be taxed at least 200%.

The country has no need for degrees that are less useful than an HS Diploma from the 1950s. The government should encourage self sufficiency and real science not lysenkoism or politicized science.

There should be tax credits or vouchers for tax payers who wish to send their children to private primary and secondary schools. This benefit should be first funded by any federal financial aid to state education. And tenure should be completely eliminated. There should be a "hatch act" for teachers and it should be illegal for them or any public employee to unionize or go on strike.

436 When you reward bad behavior, you get more of it.

We've been in this circle of hell since the 60's when student protester were caved into and their demands at least given consideration when they should have been expelled from the school and if their actions merited it, called the police on them.

Blacks are particularly egregious about this. The riot at the drop of a hat and there's no punishment (except for their neighborhood stores getting trashed. All it accomplishes is they see that acting criminally is rewarded.

We're doing this now with Muslims. They protest or plant bombs and suddenly anything Muslim is the bestest ever and has to be included in the curriculum but Christianity is icky and has to be stomped out of existence.

This is what Academia and the media have foisted off on us in accord with what the left manages to present as being somehow courageous and progressive.

All it's done is turn out children into 30 year old whiny brats and taught blacks that they're excused from being civilized because a 100 years ago their ancestors got treated badly. And no we see the ultimate extension of that type of "thinking" (is use that term loosely) where Transgender mentally ill persons (a very small percent of the population) has taken over all forms of media, and common sense in the name of inclusion.

This is ridiculous and I'm willing to have a civil war just so those people will get put in jail and get some therapy.

444 Most of the colleges now follow the Oberlin strategy: recruit students from the top of the intersectionality totem pole, who then proceed to do what oppressed / disenfranched / historically-underserved populations tend to do to the locals: rob and beat them.

This race-to-the-bottom in student selection has destroyed academics at many state universities, and raised the violent crime rates in the towns that host them.
