Continued Progress in Effort to Create Newly Independent Antioch College
Work on Definitive Agreement Process Underway
Ann Arbor, MI–Forty-five days after the signing of a letter of intent by the chairs of the Board Pro Tempore
of the Antioch College Continuation Corporation and the Antioch University Board of Governors,
both parties met in Boston, Massachusetts.
Present at the meeting were Taskforce members Matthew Derr, Chief Transition Officer for the Antioch
College Continuation Corporation, Richard Detweiler, President of the Great Lakes Colleges Association,
Daniel Fallon, Vice Chair of the Antioch University Board of Governors, Jack Mersellis, Antioch University
Trustee and Lee Morgan, Chair of the Board Pro Tempore of the Antioch College Continuation
Corporation. Joining the Taskforce for the meeting in Boston were Toni Murdock, Chancellor of Antioch
University and Art Zucker, Chair of the Antioch University Board of Trustees.
With an action list of approximately 45 items, the Taskforce has reached agreement on 35 items and
has general consensus on the remainder. The Taskforce is now relying heavily on the work of independent
legal counsel and both parties’ attorneys have begun to write what is hoped will ultimately become
one or more definitive agreements. “This is a complicated legal and financial process, but the continued
good will and collaboration is really paying off as we get closer to the completion of the work of the Taskforce,”
said Richard Detweiler, who serves as mediator and chair of the Taskforce.

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio — A visit to Antioch College, which closed last
summer, is a bit like a “Twilight Zone” episode — the picturesque
small-town campus has no students or faculty, but it does have a
functioning library.
