ANTIOCH COLLEGE’S SUSPENSION LIFTED

At 2 p.m. EST, the Antioch University Board of Trustees, in historic collaboration with the Alumni Board, agreed today to lift the suspension of operations a Antioch College originally slated for June 30, 2008. This decision, which follows intensive discussions between the University Board of Trustees and the Alumni Board, means that Antioch College will continue to offer academic credits and degrees to current students.

The Antioch College Community Meeting can be listened to here.

“An enormous amount of work remains to be done,” said Alumni Board President Nancy Crow ’70, “but we are energized and ready to rise to this challenge. Our goal is nothing less than the regeneration of Antioch College as a leader and innovator in liberal arts education. Antioch’s unique blend of academic excellence, real-world experience, and shared governance will continue to produce engaged global citizens trained to lead in the 21st century, just as it has for the past 155 years.”

More information will be posted as we have it available.

A MESSAGE FROM NANCY CROW, PRESIDENT, ANTIOCH COLLEGE ALUMNI BOARD

Yes, we are making progress! For the last week, representatives of the Alumni Board and the University Board of Trustees have been working non-stop towards an agreement. It is painfully slow, but we are not only making progress, we are making history. We must work together to revive Antioch College and we must do it right.

The Alumni Board is scheduled to vote on the proposed agreement on Thursday evening, and the Board of Trustees on Friday. Please be assured that as soon as we are able, we will alert all of our donors and alumni and the Antioch College community to any new developments or decisions.

Thank you for your continued energies, efforts, and support.

–Nancy Crow, President, Antioch College Alumni Board

Statement from the Antioch College Alumni Board, October 27, 2007

The Alumni Board is pleased to hear that the negotiations with the Board of Trustees are continuing in a positive manner. At the same time, we are disappointed that the Board of Trustees was unable to come to a decision today. We look forward to a swift resolution that will enable the College to remain in operations and begin the process of revival.

Nancy Crow, president of the Alumni Board, called the deliberations “incredibly positive, which portends a good future. We have worked together in an unprecedented manner, and I am hopeful we can continue on this very positive path. I am optimistic, as is our board.”

Antioch has much to celebrate. The College boasts of a recent Nobel Prize winner, seven MacArthur Fellows, generations of Fulbright winners, and a legacy of alumni who lead meaningful, interesting lives. Antioch has a history that few others can claim, and most only dream of. The current students of Antioch are talented, bold, and caring – worthy of the title Antiochian. Antioch College belongs on the front cover of The Chronicle of Higher Education, but not for closing its doors. Antioch is poised to reclaim its rightful spot at the forefront of higher education.
