When blinded by ideology it’s hard to see things in a clear light. Im sure not only Oberlin but other universities will learn from this. It’s the hefty $sum that will carry this message very far. While I think these lawsuits have ridiculous compensations, they do serve as a deterent in the future
Is there any evidence this was driven by "ideology"? Seems more likely this person was an opportunist or narcissist like Eric Cartman from South Park than a genuine ideological thinker.
I wouldn't hold your breath...I doubt anyone who could get into a position of authority at Oberlin could comprehend that what happened was wrong. They would at most regret not getting away with it.
