Ad Hoc Tenured Faculty Committee

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.”

Chicago’s Independence Celebration 8/01/09
Matthew Derr '89, Maribeth Joy McManus '00, Abby Pike '00, Risa Grimes
Some 45 Antiochians and friends celebrated Antioch College’s independence and enjoyed the stunning skyline views and urban cacophony of Nic Ruley 02 and Brett King’s South Loop sky garden on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Guests chief transition officer Matthew Derr ‘89, College Revival Fund executive director Risa Grimes, and assistant director of alumni relations Steve Duffy ‘77 spoke about ongoing rebuilding and fundraising efforts at the college.
Matthew reported that hiring some 40 staff will begin this week. He’s forming a search committee to hire the first core six college faculty, called Morgan Fellows, who will develop curriculum and hire more faculty. The faculty search committee includes, among others, former dean and professor emeritus Steve Schwerner ’60, Cary Nelson ’67, president of the American Association of University Professors, and Frances Degen Horowitz ‘54, president of the graduate school at the City University of New York.
All three guests emphasized the need to increase alumni participation in the movement to revive the college. Increasing the rate of alumni giving, which currently stands at 5%, will be instrumental in qualifying the college for larger grants.

ADCIL in Exile – Townsend, et al. v. Antioch University
From: theantiochpapers.org/document/116/adcil-in-exile-townsend-et-al-v-antioch-university
On May 12, 2009, the Court of Appeals of Ohio, Second Appellate District, heard an appeal on behalf of the members of the former faculty of Antioch College regarding reinstatement of their recently dismissed lawsuit against Antioch University.
In 2007 members of the former faculty of Antioch College filed a lawsuit alleging that Antioch University violated the Antioch “College Faculty Personnel Policies”. According to this contractual document, the University is mandated to seek “less drastic means” to closure through “consultation” with the College’s Administrative Council, AdCil. Specifically, the University is required to work with AdCil to development “a plan and timetable for abating financial emergency” or closure. The faculty lawsuit alleges that Antioch University officers refused to meet with AdCil to develop this plan or explore less drastic means.
A ruling on the appeal is expected sometime within the next 12 weeks.
