<p>Rockbandmom, I’m not really sure what you’re hoping to accomplish by these postings here and in the Music forum. No college is perfect, in its administration or in its classroom. Where legalities are concerned, and given the short timeline Oberlin had to respond, it is entirely possible the administration was bound from communicating the hoax to students at the time (legal charges probably being explored) but it did have to react to students’ anxiety. We’ll never know. Berklee and Oberlin could not be more different academically, and it seems as though your daughter is happy at Berklee. My son got a tremendous education at Oberlin, in both the Con and in the College. Thanks for showing another “take” on the situation, but I’m confident Oberlin is moving on constructively. If not, their very smart, vocal student body will no doubt let them know.</p>
