Ralph:

Thanks for posting this.  First Gibson's and then the women's sports false step and now this.  Oberlin seems to have lost its way.

I am trying to figure out how Oberlin could have so lost its moral bearings.

Good news -- Oberlin is giving up the art.  Even better news:  they had good reason to believe it wasn't stolen:

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Oberlin College said it "invested significant resources" in the history of the artwork and "concluded it had been lawfully acquired."

"Oberlin College purchased Egon Schiele’s drawing Girl with Black Hair in 1958. When questions relating to the artwork's ownership came to light in the years that followed, Oberlin invested significant resources researching the history of its sale and purchase and concluded it had been lawfully acquired," a spokesperson for the college said.

"This artwork was purchased for Oberlin’s Allen Memorial Art Museum by Charles Parkhurst, director of the museum from 1949 to 1962. As one of the ‘Monuments Men,’ he was celebrated for tracking down and returning art looted by Nazis in WWII," the spokesperson added. "It is inconceivable that Parkhurst would have knowingly purchased any artwork that he believed might have been stolen."
