Ad Hoc Tenured Faculty Committee
http://facultyjustice.org/
A group of tenured former Antioch College faculty
The Ad Hoc Tenured Faculty Committee is a group of faculty members who held tenure at Antioch College prior to its June 2008 closure, and many participated in strategic educational and legal initiatives that were critical to the subsequent revival of Antioch College. The Ad Hoc Committee has advocated for the Antioch College Board of Trustees Pro Tempore to respect the recommendations of the June 2010 investigative report of American Association of University Professors (AAUP). The report states, “the investigating committee trusts that the Antioch College Continuation Corporation will appreciate the fundamental importance of the tenure system and will offer reinstatement to those whose appointments terminated with the closing, restoring their tenure rights.”

Excerpt: The Ad Hoc Tenured Faculty Committee announces the opening of facultyjustice.org, an online archive of letters and documents spanning 2008-2010.
