I’m an Antioch student who just finished her first year. I’m writing because I read your column “Who Killed Antioch? Womyn” in the LA Times, and I’m concerned about your comment on our SOPP, and the trend it (your comment, not our policy) represents. SOPP-era Antiochians are used to the assortment of media misperceptions that have, since 1993, asserted themselves in the face of all evidence and good sense. But in the wake of the announcement of our college’s closing, what used to be a puzzling phenomenon has become salt in the wound.

The uncertain state of affairs, however, makes it difficult to keep a steady count of the student population. “A lot of parents call and ask: ‘What’s going to be left there?’ I must answer that I don’t know”, confesses Kinghorn.
