Task force moves toward an independent Antioch College
The task force charged with developing a plan for an an independent Antioch College met on Oct. 13 in New York City with Antioch University Board of Trustees Chair Art Zucker and Chancellor Toni Murdock. The purpose of the meeting was to brief the chair and chancellor on the work of the of the task force over the past three months, and to elicit their thinking on the strategies being considered by the task force.
“The meeting was positive and constructive, and we made significant progress toward formalizing a resolution,” said Richard Detweiler, president of the Great Lakes College Association and mediator/chair of the task force, in a media release. “It is clear that everyone sitting around the table shares the commitment to the creation of an independent college, and that the only question is the optimal route forward, particularly in these financially turbulent times.”
The task force will continue its work in the coming weeks, refining the approaches it has been developing based on the meeting’s discussions.
A task force of Antioch alumni and trustee representatives in July adopted a resolution to re-establish an independent residential liberal arts college as soon as possible. Antioch College closed June 30 because of declining enrollment and other issues.
