Please set aside time to watch this video. With their jobs on the line, it took incredible courage for the faculty to speak up like this. For those hungry for information on how we got to this difficult position, this video is maybe the best source yet.

The faculty of Antioch College wish to share their perspective on the
closing of the College. I am an Emerita faculty member speaking at
their request because current faculty are in a position of great
vulnerability at this time, no longer protected by tenure. The
narrative supplied by the Board of Trustees contains important
omissions, questionable assumptions and misrepresentations.
As of today, the Alumni Association has raised nearly $18 million in gifts and pledges from hundreds of donors eager to secure the future of Antioch College.
The elected Antioch College Alumni Association Board of Directors continue to negotiate with the University Board of Trustees to establish an autonomous Board of Trustees for Antioch College, and to protection of assets of Antioch College for sole use of Antioch College.
