Oberlin College is a private liberal arts college and conservatory of music in Oberlin, Ohio. It is the oldest coeducational liberal arts college in the United States and the second oldest continuously operating coeducational institute of higher learning in the world.[1] The Oberlin Conservatory of Music is the oldest continuously operating conservatory in the United States.[2] In 1835 Oberlin became one of the first colleges in the United States to admit African Americans, and in 1837 the first to admit women[3] (other than Franklin College's brief experiment in the 1780s[4]). It has been known since its founding for progressive student activism.[5]
The College of Arts & Sciences offers more than 50 majors, minors, and concentrations. Oberlin is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association and the Five Colleges of Ohio consortium. Since its founding, Oberlin has graduated 16 Rhodes Scholars, 20 Truman Scholars, three Nobel laureates, seven Pulitzer Prize winners, 12 MacArthur fellows, and 4 Rome Prize winners.[6]

Professor fired for mentioning deep politics
In 2016 Oberlin College dismissed Joy Karega, an assistant professor of rhetoric and composition, for posts she made on social media — including that ISIS was really U.S. and Israeli intelligence personnel, and that they — not "Islamic terrorists" — had planned the attacks on the Paris offices of the magazine Charlie Hebdo. She posted that Israel had downed Malaysian Airlines flight No. 17 over Ukraine, and voiced support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan’s declaration that Zionists and Israeli Jews were behind the Sept. 11 attacks.[7]
Oberlin’s board said that the college’s commitment to academic freedom stands, and that the case against Karega came down to “professional integrity and fitness.”[7]
Karega said: "Since the publication of the posts, I have been inundated with hundreds of hatemail filled with slurs (racial, misogynist, classist), harassment and threats," she said. "To add insult to injury, for the last eight months, Oberlin has campaigned to implicate my professional fitness using arbitrary, inequitable and discriminatory practices. Indeed, the college launched an assault on my substantive rights."[7]
