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.”

*DRAFT* Antioch College Emergency Recruitment and Enrollment Plan *DRAFT*
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.

ANTIOCH COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION RAISES $14 MILLION TO FUND ONGOING EFFORTS TO SAVE HISTORIC INSTITUTION
Yellow Springs, Ohio, October 22, 2007
For Immediate Release [DOWNLOAD]
Contact: Press
Legions of Antioch College alumni, spanning more than seven decades, are expected to gather this week at the Yellow Springs campus for what promises to be a historic meeting between the College’s Alumni Board and the Antioch University Board of Trustees. The Alumni Association is challenging the Board’s decision to suspend operations at the 154 year old liberal arts institution known for its groundbreaking educational innovations.
The college is the residential undergraduate component of Antioch University, whose Board of Trustees voted on June 12, 2007 to close the campus under a plan that calls for reopening it in 2012. Antioch University also has five nonresidential campuses around the country, all of which are to remain open. The College Alumni Board has raised more than $14 million in gifts and pledges to date from supporters committed to the uninterrupted continuation of Antioch College as an institution of higher education with a tenured faculty.
The College Alumni Association will present an alternative business and fundraising strategy to the Board designed to keep the College open.
“In just four short months, with help from students, faculty and staff, as well as alumni all across the world, we have raised over $14 million in cash and pledges, as well as creating a new comprehensive business and fundraising plan,” said Alumni Board President Nancy Crow. “The Alumni Board will be presenting a compelling case for keeping this beloved icon of higher education open past the proposed July 2008 date. The Board of Trustees made the decision that they felt was right at the time, but the business plan is going to show them an alternative path.”
Since the Board of Trustees announced the suspension of operations in June of 2007, alumni across the country have rallied to their alma mater’s defense. Alumni chapters have grown worldwide. Additionally, the Alumni Board also recently premiered its redesigned and reorganized Web site, antiochians.org.
*DRAFT* Business Plan Financial Highlights *DRAFT*
The College Revival Fund, Inc. Business Plan, with its heavy emphasis on fundraising, will result in a balanced Antioch College Budget for each of the fiscal years ending 2009 through 2014, despite conservative enrollment assumptions.
