Oberlin College hit with maximum PUNITIVE DAMAGES (capped at $22 million by law) in Gibson’s Bakery case

Added to $11 million compensatory damages, brings total to $33 million

Daniel McGraw, our reporter in the courtroom, reports that in addition to the $11.2 million compensatory damages awarded last Friday, the jury awarded a total of $33 million in punitive damages, which will probably be reduced by the court to $22 million because of the state law cap at twice compensatory (it’s not an absolute cap, but probably will apply here). That brings the total damages to $33 million. We will have the breakdown soon. The jury also awarded attorney’s fees, to be determined by the judge.

The breakdown was:

David Gibson – $17.5 million punitive damages

Allyn W. Gibson — $8.75 million punitive damages

Gibson Bros. Inc. (the Bakery) – $6,973,500 punitive damages

I love this but I worry about it too.

As Oberlein is known as a super-liberal, pro-activist, and private, university I think this is great. Smack them down for creating a campus culture and supporting students that create harm to others.

What worries me is that many liberal colleges are PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES and it will be OUR taxpayer dollars that fund awards if suits are brought against public universities. At public universities the law should require that the ADMINISTRATORS and PROFESSORS who engage in this type of activity pay the penalties.

Liberalism is the reverse Midas Touch. Everything it touches turns to shit.

I would say it this case, WOKE = BROKE. :yum::yum::yum:

Of course now, the school is pleading poverty. Time for them, then, to start selling off assets to pay the debts.
