The Co-op program has gotten used to change. In 1921 Arthur E. Morgan (the then president of Antioch College) began what is know a trademark of Antioch, the Co-op program. During the last few years the Co-op program has seen many changes: the implementation of Co-op communities, the concept of “list jobs†enter into the vocabulary of Co-op, and the shift in required Co-ops from five to three. These changes were part of the much bemoaned renewal plan, which is often blamed for the College’s current financial straits. Continue reading Uncertainty about Co-op Program Next Year

This gathering at least shows that AEA, even in the face of the college’s instability, is thriving as usual.

A Letter from the Antioch College Alumni Board
The statement below is supported by the majority of the Antioch College Alumni Board.
Since there have been different interpretations of what the Alumni Board intended in approving the agreement with the University Board of Trustees on November 3, 2007, and since recent actions by administrators contradict both the spirit and specifics of our understanding of how that collaboration should proceed, we hereby clarify our understanding of the terms of the agreement
We do so by indicating specific initiatives that fulfill our understanding. These understandings will guide our contributions to keeping Antioch College moving forward in the direction we all desire.
1. Immediate retraction of Andrzej Bloch’s letter of November 9, 2007, to the faculty. On November 9 the faculty withdrew its lawsuit in an attempt to encourage a more collaborative process–a gesture that should be welcomed, not dismissed. We believe that faculty employment should be assumed to be continuing, not terminated, with the understanding that a genuinely collaborative process may indeed recognize that some faculty positions need to be eliminated and that such a process will benefit the Antioch community much more fully if faculty are encouraged to suggest means for making such adjustments.
