<p>Cornell University may have its work cut out for it should it ever find itself in a position similar to the one Oberlin College faced after students accused a local bakery of racism for trying to stop a shoplifter.</p>
<p>That’s because Cornell’s recently appointed general counsel Donica Thomas Varner is Oberlin’s current general counsel and was responsible for defending the college during the disastrous Gibson Bakery scandal, which resulted in a $44 million libel verdict against Oberlin. Legal Insurrection’s William A. Jacobson, a clinical professor of law and director of Cornell’s Securities Law Clinic, <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2021/04/cornells-new-general-counsel-is-oberlin-college-in-house-lawyer-responsible-for-gibsons-bakery-case/">reported</a> last week that Varner was named Cornell’s new general counsel, even though she is currently best known for sending an inflammatory email criticizing the jury’s decision to award Gibson’s Bakery $11.2 million in compensatory damages. The email was sent after this decision but before a separate trial awarded the bakery an additional $33 million.</p>
