Or, they could just start behaving like a civilized institution again.
I would rather see Oberlin sell the buildings and grounds and move to a more welcoming state. $44M? The Ohio jury has shown the college they don't want or need their presence. Let Ohio replace Oberlin with a nice vocational school.

Great idea, what town wouldn't welcome a university with open arms that smears the reputations of local institutions and sics their student body on 'em?
Somehow I'm not surprised you wouldn't rather they just behaved like a civilized institution.
At Oberlin College, in particular, this problem precedes the Trump era. In 2013, students at the elite liberal arts college panicked after someone reported seeing a person in a Ku Klux Klan robe on campus. The administration cancelled all classes for the day. The phantom klansman was never found, though police did find someone wrapped in a blanket. This overreaction was preceded by a month-long spate of racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-gay posters around campus. These, too, were found to be hoaxes.
With their preoccupation with identity, privilege, and oppression, our institutions of higher education increasingly promote a paranoid climate of perpetual crisis. Is it surprising, then, that participants in this hothouse environment would respond to an incentive structure that rewards victimhood by manufacturing it?
“The law firms that represented Gibson’s Bakery and its owners in a lawsuit against Oberlin College have been awarded approximately $6.5 million in attorney fees by Lorain County [Ohio] Common Pleas Judge John Miraldi. The amount is on top of the $25 million in compensatory and punitive damages Oberlin College has been ordered to pay the bakery and its owners, who won a lawsuit against the college last month.”

Maybe Oberlin can move to Seacove's city and ruin his reputation and life. That seems like a good solution.

What's wrong with a vocational school? Too lowbrow for your tastes?
Somebody has to do the plumbing, welding, car repairs, electrical and so on.
Nobody says YOU have to associate with those types, Heaven forbid.
