Here is one of several news stories about this. Many more can be found searching with Google News. Wikipedia page.

An employee at Gibson's Bakery -- his father and grandfather own it -- chased and confronted an Oberlin College student trying to shoplift in 2016. The employee is white and the student is black. Two other black students got involved. Oberlin College is very progressive-liberal. The campus erupted in protests charging the bakery with racism. Some Oberlin College administrators and faculty actively supported the protestors. The college stopped being a customer and students boycotted. The Gibson's Bakery owners sued Oberlin College for libel and harming their business. The jury awarded the owners $11 million compensatory damages plus $33 million punitive damages! The $33 million will likely get reduced.

Political commentator and Oberlin graduate Michelle Malkin says Oberlin College "had it coming" (link).
