To truly reverse its closure, Antioch College needs to begin acting like it’s open, and begin building on its vibrant academic foundation to grow into a healthy, self-sufficient institution.
To make this happen, Antioch must immediately:
-
- establish the College Advisory Board and invest it with real authority, including hiring a College President
- remove internal barriers and begin recruiting and admitting new and transfer students for Fall ‘08
- restore tenure and remove the threat of firing that hangs over faculty and staff
- maintain all academic and support services during renovations
- hold leadership accountable for past decisions and statements
- ensure an open and participatory decision making process
- guarantee a commitment from leadership to operate on principles of openness and honesty
- have leaders committed to the turnaround of Antioch College
- call for respect in communications from all university officials so the College’s already challenging task isn’t made more difficult
