2. That's good. Oberlin fucked up in their response to their student stealing booze from a store..

... and then beating the clerk (with two Oberlin friends) who chased the main shoplifter.

From wiki:
The police arrested the students, charging all three with assault and the shoplifter with robbery as well. In August 2017, the three students pleaded guilty, stating that they believed Gibson's actions were justified and were not racially motivated.[10][12][13] Their plea deals carried no jail time in exchange for restitution, the public statement and a promise of future good behaviour.[12][14]

one of my favorite ironies is this (also from wiki):
An email from Vice President of Communications Ben Jones read, "All these idiots complaining about the college hurting a 'small local business' are conveniently leaving out their massive (relative to the town) conglomerate and price gouging on rents and parking and the predatory behavior toward most other local business. Fuck 'em."

Oberlin charges between $75,000 and $80,000 for tuition, fees, room, and board.
