Oberlin College’s president is still saying that Gibson’s Bakery, which won a $44 million judgment against the Ohio school in a libel lawsuit back in June, has a history of racism, according to an interview she gave to CBS’s Ted Koppel.

Legal Insurrection, which closely followed the case between Oberlin and Gibson’s Bakery reports that Carmen Twillie Ambar told Koppel that the school’s campaign against the bakery wasn’t necessarily the result of a single “racial” incident, but rather a “series of things that happened” before the incident that gave rise to the lawsuit.
