I would think an art sale to acquire the $30M could be
sold and re-gifted back to Oberlin... No Art Sale. Better would be
give monies from the Offenders first thru asset seizure.

Then maybe give a building to the bakery so they could
rename it ‘Gibson’s Bakery’ on the campus with a plaque explaining its title transfer.. Something that hurts!

I think the only building the college owns that could satisfy the judgement is the hotel owned and operated by the college.
BUT the hotel is attached to the administration building and the college uses it as a recruitment tool putting up visiting prospective students and parents.

Another BUT is do the Gibsons want to operate a hotel? Doubtful.
Though it would be wickedly pleasant to have prospective students and their families stay at Gibsons Hotel, Oberlin and have a large plaque at the desk explaining how the family acquired the hotel.

The college has $80 million but most of that money is tied up in trusts so using it might be impossible.
