Statement from YS for Keep Antioch College Open
Submitted by timnoble on Wed, 10/10/2007 - 12:11am.Dear Antioch University Board of Trustees,
September 13, 2007
As villagers and recognized stakeholders with an interest in the future of Antioch College, we are both hopeful and concerned regarding the fast moving events of recent days. We have been impressed by the hard work of the Alumni Board, the College faculty, staff, students, and the many in the Yellow Springs Community who have worked so hard to keep our beloved Antioch College open. Out of this crisis, together we are creating a great opportunity.
We are hopeful because Antioch’s Development and Alumni Relations (per agreement with the Alumni Board and the Antioch University Board of Trustees) is now under the control of the Alumni Board. Important steps towards the establishing an independent governance structure for the College are being negotiated as the necessary foundation to make significant fundraising possible. The task before us is considerable.

Submitted by jonnyno on Mon, 10/08/2007 - 8:27pm.
Mario R. Capecchi, Ph.D., distinguished professor of human genetics
and biology at the University of Utah's Eccles Institute of Human
Genetics and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator, has won
the 2007 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The announcement was made this morning by the Nobel Assembly at the
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden. The prize recognizes
Capecchi's pioneering work on "knockout mice" technology, a
gene-targeting technique that has revolutionized mammalian biology and
allowed the creation of animal models for hundreds of human diseases,
including modeling cancer in the mouse.
"This is a tremendous honor for our University, for our Department of
Human Genetics, and, specifically, for all the members of my
laboratory, past and present," said Capecchi upon receiving

RAISING DOUGH: Our Revival fund has reached a total of $12 million in cash and pledges, an amount equal to the entire endowment of Bennington College. Donors have earmarked the money to be used only for the continuation of Antioch as a residential undergraduate College with a tenured faculty that is moving toward a system of self-governance.
DEVELOPING THE PLAN: In about a week, Dixie Maurer-Clemons will widely circulate for comments and ideas a draft of the Antioch College Revitalization Business Plan. Alumni Board Treasurer Rick Daily, who is coordinating the development of the plan, stresses that “we want as many people as possible to see the draft and give input.” Meanwhile, the Alumni Board is exploring the possibility of hiring a well-respected financial planner to help craft the final version.

University Officials Share Financial Data with College Alumni Board
Submitted by bronx on Sat, 09/08/2007 - 2:15am.from the Alumni Association Board of Directors, Friday, September 7, 2007
Alumni Board Treasurer Rick Daily reports that he has now received from University officials information the Alumni Board needs to develop a proposal for the continuation of Antioch as an undergraduate, residential, liberal arts college with a tenured faculty. The proposal will be presented to University Trustees for consideration at their October meeting.
Experts in many fields relating to higher education and its financing are expected to help the Alumni Board develop its proposal. Rick is convinced their participation will not be hindered by the terms of a confidentiality agreement University officials insisted upon as a pre-condition for their sharing information.

Submitted by bronx on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 4:29am.September 4, 2007: Antioch University announced on 8/31/07 that Steven Lawry, the President of Antioch College, was stepping down early. Almost immediately afterwards, alumni were informed that the Development Office staff was asked to go home early and locks were being changed. Alumni immediately reached out to each other as well as current staff, faculty, students and Yellow Springs community members to gather support and news.
This morning, September 4, Toni Murdock, Art Zucker, Nancy Crow and Rick Daily had a phone conference. Nancy and Rick expressed to Toni and Art that the alumni association is very unhappy with the way events unfolded on Friday and proceeded to bring the effort to revitalize the College back on course.
Nancy and Rick insisted that:
