Oberlin College owes Gibson's bakery $36M in defamation case, so why won't it also say 'sorry'?

Thanks to the Ohio Supreme Court, the six-year battle between Gibson's Bakery and Oberlin College has ended, with the school promising to pay the $36.59 million it owes the local business.
It’s well past time that Oberlin alumni came together to petition Ambar and her board to issue a formal apology to the Gibson family. Thomas M. Boyd is a former assistant attorney general, appointed by President Ronald Reagan.
This ordeal started on Nov. 9, 2016, when an Oberlin sophomore, who is Black, attempted to shoplift two bottles of wine and use a false ID to purchase alcohol at Gibson’s Bakery, located across the street from the college in Oberlin, Ohio. When he tried to flee, the grandson of the co-owner, who is White, tried to stop him and was beaten by him and two other Black Oberlin students who came to his aid. All three were arrested and later pled guilty.
