The time is drawing near for an agreement to be reached regarding the future of Antioch College. A task force comprised of representatives from both the University and Antioch College Alumni have been negotiating since January. Art Zucker, Chair of the Antioch University Board of Governors, says a long list of issues has been resolved.
“I think the definitive agreement, which is the legal document defining this transfer of assets, is very close to be agreed upon. THere are two to three points that still need some negotiation, but it’s very likely that these will be resolved,” says Zucker.

The task force has set June 30th as a final deadline for an agreement.
