Dear Chancellor Murdock, Chair Zucker, and Dr. Bloch:

We have yet to receive a response to my letter of August 7, 2007, concerning the June 2007 actions taken by the Antioch University board of trustees to declare Antioch College in a state of financial exigency and to suspend college operations as of July 2008, with the intention of reopening in 2012.  We raised with you in that letter a number of important issues: the apparent absence of meaningful faculty participation in the decisions that resulted in the declaration of financial exigency and the suspension of college operations, the extent of the college’s financial difficulties, and the importance of maintaining an intact tenure system should the college reopen.  Recent information shared with us by members of the faculty, available in news accounts and in newly released documents, has heightened our concerns regarding these matters.

On August 14, twenty Antioch College faculty members filed suit against the board of trustees of Antioch University to prevent the planned closure of the college.

The lawsuit alleges that by suspending college operations for four years, the university bypassed a provision of the college’s Faculty Personnel Policies and Procedures manual giving tenured faculty “the right to be reappointed within a period of three years to any positions eliminated due to a declaration of financial exigency.  By limiting the declaration of financial exigency to Antioch College, Antioch University is in a position to eliminate the only tenured faculty within the Antioch University system.”  The lawsuit also questions the fundamental basis for the board’s declaration that the college is in a financially exigent condition, alleging that “less drastic means existed and exist to address the financial crisis at Antioch College.” It charges the university with breaching college policies with respect to “procedures to be followed in the event of necessary and justifiable budget curtailment,” and further states, “Antioch University’s poor governance of Antioch College also created the supposed financial crisis that purportedly supported the declaration of financial exigency by . . . mandating a ‘Renewal Plan’ that consisted of the elimination of the college’s entire existing curriculum and majors.”  When the curriculum plan “led to a rapid decline in enrollment and revenues,” the suit alleges, the board failed to consult the college faculty “regarding the appropriate means to correct the numerous and significant problems created by Antioch University’s ‘Renewal Plan’.”

University trustees, following a meeting with faculty and alumni on August 25, released an August 27 statement confirming a resolution agreeing “to work with the College Alumni Board to demonstrate, by the October 2007 Board of Trustees meeting, the financial and academic feasibility of the College Alumni Board’s proposal for the continued operation of the College.” In a second August 27 resolution, the trustees also agreed to a faculty and alumni request that they consider the possibility of establishing a separate board of trustees for the college.  Chancellor Murdock, earlier addressing this possibility in a July 30 Inside Higher Ed article (“Who Should Control Antioch?”), stressed that, regardless of the amount of authority delegated to the college board, final decision-making authority would continue to rest with the chancellor and the university’s board, and stated, “We are one corporation and all the assets are owned by one corporation.”

On August 31, Chancellor Murdock asked college president Steven Lawry to step down effective immediately, four months prior to his previously announced December 2007 resignation date.  We understand that the president was placed on administrative leave and barred from campus.  The university also announced the appointments of several new administrators, including a chief operations officer, and the reorganization of the college’s development office.  The latter was preceded, according to faculty accounts, by the changing of office locks and the early dismissal of staff for the day.  Faculty members report they were dismayed with the administration’s failure to consult them prior to acting against President Lawry, and prior to making new senior-level administrative appointments.  They expressed concern that the president was asked to resign because of his public commitment to alumni fundraising efforts to keep the college open.

Within days of the administration’s announcement regarding President Lawry, the faculty voted no confidence in Chancellor Murdock. Their September 4 resolution stated,

In light of the August 31st news that the leadership of Antioch College has been dramatically restructured, including 1) the elimination of the position of College President; 2) the invention of new administrative positions; 3) and the encroachment onto the operations of the Alumni and Development offices, all of which were done without consultation with the College Administrative Council or College faculty, we the faculty of Antioch College, issue a vote of ‘no-confidence’ in Tullisse Murdoch, Chancellor of Antioch University.  The Chancellor’s precipitous actions have damaged the college to such an extent that her continuation works against the survival of the institution.  The vote was unanimous among the twenty-six faculty present.

With respect to the matter of tenure, as we wrote in our August 7 letter, “[i]f the college does reopen, we hope and expect that it will do so with a tenure system intact, and with a sense of its continuing obligation to the current college faculty with regard to reinstatement.”  We understand that when the board of trustees met in June, they considered two scenarios for the future of Antioch College. The first scenario detailed the college’s permanent closure, while the second plan, which was ultimately approved by the board, involved the suspension of college operations and its planned reopening in four years. Recently released university documents indicate that the approved plan included a year-by-year countdown to the college’s 2011 reopening.  We were dismayed to learn that during year two of the four-year closure searches are to be conducted for the first eight faculty members to be appointed for the 2010 academic year, and that these appointments will not be eligible for tenure.

These ongoing issues of faculty governance, and what appears to be the planned reopening of the college without a system of tenure, have contributed to the faculty’s deepening skepticism about the university administration’s claim that the college is financially exigent and about the reasons for the decisions to declare exigency and to suspend college operations.  In particular, faculty members have maintained that the board’s failure to consult them adequately when it redesigned the college’s curriculum, and later when enrollments dropped as a result of curricular inadequacies, raises serious questions not only about faculty governance, but more importantly about the sufficiency of the board’s financial planning.  In this regard, we draw your attention, as we had in our August 7 letter, to Regulation 4c of our Recommended Institutional Regulations on Academic Freedom and Tenure.  Under this regulation, a “demonstrably bona fide exigency” – an exigency, that is, which permits the “termination of an appointment with continuous tenure, or a probationary or special appointment before the end of a specified term” – is “an imminent financial crisis which threatens the survival of the institution as a whole and that cannot be alleviated by less drastic means” than the termination of tenured appointments.  As noted above, the chancellor has stated that the university is one corporate unit owning all the corporate assets, including presumably those of the college.  It is clear that the financial situation confronting Antioch College over the past several years has been a serious one, but we are not aware that the survival of the university as a whole is threatened or that the university administration has shown that the college’s situation could not be alleviated by means less drastic than suspending operations for a period of four years.    Even if the college does suspend operations because of a bona fide financial exigency, the university is obliged under Association-supported standards to make every effort to place affected faculty members in other suitable positions within the institution.

We would welcome your comments on these several matters.  We also hope that the October meeting of the board of trustees and the college faculty and alumni, where the alumni will present their plan for the continuation of the college, will be conducted in the spirit of cooperation that characterized the August meeting.  We look forward to learning about the meeting and its outcome.

Sincerely,

Anita Levy, Ph.D. Associate Secretary

THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS
EXPRESSES ADDITIONAL CONCERNS ABOUT ANTIOCH UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP

The American Association of University Professors, the largest and most prominent advocacy organization for higher education faculty in the United States, has issued a second letter to Tullisse A. Murdock, Antioch University Chancellor, and Art Zucker, Chair of the Antioch University Board of Trustees. The September 19 AAUP letter reiterates the Association’s earlier concerns that College governance procedures and College Faculty Personnel Policies were bypassed in the June 2007 announcement of the upcoming suspension of Antioch College operations due to financial exigency. This second letter also calls attention to the AAUP’s heightened concerns about responsible stewardship and the preservation of tenure in the wake of recent administrative upheaval and of newly-released information about the proposed direction of a reconstituted Antioch College.
The AAUP letter provides a brief recap of some significant recent events. Following the June announcement, Antioch College Faculty responded with a lawsuit attempting to halt the suspension of operations at the College; the suit alleges that “less drastic means existed and exist to address the financial crisis,” and that the Board of Trustees had ignored institutional personnel procedures and long-standing traditions of participatory governance. On August 27 a meeting between the University Board and College faculty, alumni, staff, and local supporters yielded a resolution in which the Board agreed to consider Alumni proposals regarding the financial and academic feasibility of keeping the College open. This cooperative effort was jeopardized a week later when the Chancellor unexpectedly eliminated the position of the College President, placing President Steven Lawry on administrative leave four months earlier than his planned departure. On the same day, the fundraising and communications operations of the College Office of Development were shut down, and only restored through intervention by members of the Alumni Board. In the aftermath, the Faculty voted “no confidence” in the leadership of Chancellor Murdock. The AAUP cites these actions by the University leadership as possible evidence of continued violations of College governance procedures and the ongoing lack of “meaningful faculty participation” in important decisions affecting the survival of the College.
New information released by the University about the College’s potential 2012 reopening without a tenured faculty has increased the AAUP’s concern that the proposed suspension of operations involves an attack on the system of tenure. While all parties agree that the financial situation confronting the College over the past several years has been a serious one, the current AAUP letter questions whether the University administration has demonstrated that the criteria for declaring bona fide financial exigency–”an imminent financial crisis which threatens the survival of the institution as a whole and that cannot be alleviated by less drastic means than the termination of tenured appointments”–have indeed been met.
The AAUP notes the lack of response to their earlier letter of concern regarding the June 2007 actions taken by the University Board of Trustees, and continues to invite the University leadership’s comments on the issues they and the College Faculty have brought forward.

Please see the attached document for the full text of the letter.

Faculty resolution

September 4, 2007

In light of the August 31st news that the leadership of Antioch College has been dramatically restructured, including 1) the elimination of the position of College President; 2) the invention of new administration positions; 3) and the encroachment onto the operations of the Alumni and Development offices, all of which were done without consultation with the College Administrative Council or College faculty, we, the faculty of Antioch College, issue a vote of  “no-confidence”  in Tulisse Murdoch, Chancellor of Antioch University.

The Chancellor’s precipitous actions have damaged the college to such an extent that her continuation works against the survival of the institution.  The vote was unanimous among the twenty-six faculty present.

ANTIOCH COLLEGE FACULTY DECLARE “NO CONFIDENCE” IN UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR TULISSE MURDOCK

At Tuesday’s faculty meeting, Antioch College faculty issued a resolution of “no confidence” in the leadership of Tulisse Murdock, Chancellor of Antioch University.  This resolution follows the events of Friday, August 31st when the  Antioch community received the news that the leadership of the College had been dramatically altered by the premature exit of President Steve Lawry.   No reason was given for Lawry’s departure.  He had submitted his resignation in August and was expected to step down on December 31st.  However, in Friday’s reorganization by the University leadership, the position of College President was eliminated, and a new leadership team was appointed without consultation with Administrative Council or the College faculty.

The Antioch University Board of Trustees voted in June 2007 to suspend operations at the College, effective June 30, 2008.  In an emergency Board Meeting called this August, the Board of Trustees was persuaded, after a strong and eloquent outpouring of concern from a broad-based coalition of faculty, staff, students, alumni, former Trustees of the University, members of the Village of Yellow Springs, and the higher education community, to consider specific proposals from the College alumni for keeping the College open.  Last week the Trustees and the Alumni Board made an agreement to share the financial information necessary to develop a feasible business plan to ensure the survival of the College.  This new openness on the part of the Trustees was welcomed by College faculty and t he Alumni Board, and the Antioch community was looking forward to this collaboration with the University leadership and the Board of Trustees.  The recent decision to eliminate the College Presidency therefore comes at a critical point in the negotiations between the College Alumni Board and the University Board of Trustees .  The lack of due process surrounding this decision is a violation of the trust that was beginning to be re-established between the College and the larger University.

The lack of a President leaves the College vulnerable at a time when experienced leadership and fundraising expertise is essential as the College develops a sustainable plan for its survival.   The suddenness of the Chancellor’s actions occurred in an environment where democratic processes are a standard and an expectation.  These actions unfortunately follow a series of interventions on the part of the Board and the University leadership that have reduced the college’s ability to control its own finances, fundraising, curriculum, and internal affairs.

College faculty and staff are highly committed to providing a stable and supportive academic environment to students as they seek to complete degrees at an institution that faces an uncertain future.    Despite severely reduced staff and resources, delivering the best possible education to present and future Antioch students remains the highest priority.   These precipitous actions on the part of Chancellor Murdock further weaken the College and severely disrupt the educational mission of this institution.

PRESS RELEASE

Tuesday August 14. 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ANTIOCH COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBERS FILE LAWSUIT TO KEEP HISTORIC 155-YEAR-OLD OHIO COLLEGE OPEN

Today members of the Antioch College Faculty filed for a permanent injunction against the Antioch University Board of Trustees in the Greene County Common Pleas Court. On June 9, 2007, the University Board decided to suspend Antioch College operations, terminating all faculty and staff as of June 30, 2008. The legal request for injunctive relief asks the court to enjoin Antioch University from suspending College operations, from terminating the College Faculty, and from disposing of any College assets.

The lawsuit alleges that the Board failed to govern the institution properly. First and foremost, the Board breached their contractual responsibilities by declaring a state of financial exigency and suspending College operations when less drastic measures were available. The Faculty complaint also alleges that the University Board of Trustees violated contractual obligations set forth in the Faculty Personnel Policies and Procedures that require consultation with College Faculty, and that require minimal external publicity about internal College financial matters. The Faculty asserts that decisions made by the Board of Trustees in 2004 and 2005 seriously damaged College enrollment prospects, which led to a rapid decline in revenue, and that the June12, 2007 public suspension announcement further damaged the College.

Last week the College Faculty received support from the American Association of University Professors, the leading advocacy organization for higher education faculty and the defense of academic freedom. The AAUP issued a “statement of concern” to the University Board of Trustees, the University Chancellor, and the College President, citing problems with Antioch University governance policies and “a pattern of disregard for faculty’s legitimate role in institutional decision-making.”

Today’s injunction request asks that the University be prevented from liquidating or dispersing any College assets, including College buildings (three of which are historic landmarks), the College Endowment, its land holdings, Antioch Education Abroad, the recently-opened Coretta Scott King Center, and the Glen Helen Nature Preserve. Legal action by members of the Antioch College Faculty is one effort in a broad based campaign by the College Alumni Board, twenty former members of the University Board of Trustees, and the many citizens of Yellow Springs who are working to keep the College open as a viable liberal arts institution. Given the University’s public refusal to reconsider their decision to suspend operations, members of the faculty found it necessary to initiate legal action to immediately prevent further damage to the nationally renowned College and the surrounding community.

Antioch faculty, alums and current students are determined to save their school. “Antioch College has offered a very distinctive, high-quality liberal arts education for the past one-hundred and fifty years, and we, the faculty, are committed to keeping it going,” says Anne Bohlen, Professor of Media Arts. “The College buildings and grounds, including Glen Helen, are justly famous Ohio landmarks and the College is a major employer in Yellow Springs–there are numerous jobs at stake here. “

We the faculty of Antioch College support and appreciate the efforts of the Antioch College Alumni Association and the former members of the Board of Trustees to keep Antioch College open as a viable independent liberal arts college. We are joining them in these efforts.

News Release

The latest breaking news on the struggle to save Antioch College

The American Association of University Professors, the largest and most prominent advocacy organization for higher education faculty in the United States, acting on behalf of the faculty of Antioch College, has submitted a statement of concern to Tullisse A. Murdock, Acting University Chancellor, Art Zucker, Chair of the Antioch University Board of Trustees, and Antioch College President, Steven Lawry.

The Antioch University Board of Trustees voted in June to suspend operations at the historic liberal arts college in Yellow Springs as of July 1, 2008. The AAUP raises serious questions as to whether long-established and widely-practiced principles of academic government, laid out by the AAUP Statement on Government of Colleges and Universities, were adhered to by the administrators and the Board in the process of deciding to close the college.

The AAUP, “deeply disappointed” at the Board’s lack of consultation about the alleged budget crisis, calls the Board’s plan for suspension “highly unusual.”

Dear Chancellor Murdock, Chair Zucker, and President Lawry:

Members of the faculty at Antioch College have sought the advice and assistance of the American Association of University Professors regarding the actions taken by the Antioch University Board of Trustees on June 7, 2007, to declare financial exigency, and on June 9 to suspend Antioch College’s operations effective July 1, 2008, with the stated intention of reopening the college in 2012. They have shared with us a considerable amount of information about these recent events, which have also received a good deal of coverage in the media. We understand that all faculty appointments are to terminate by the end of June 2008. We were deeply surprised and disappointed to learn that members of the faculty were not consulted prior to the board’s actions with regard either to the declaration of financial exigency or to the suspension of operations, and that, in fact, they were not informed of these actions until three days later at a campus meeting on June 12. Faculty members allege that the board’s lack of consultation is part of what they perceive as a pattern of disregard for the faculty’s legitimate role in institutional decision making for the past several years.

Dear friends, former students, fellow alums, friends of Antioch,

I am writing to you all to create a picture of what is happening on the ground at the College.  Thank you for reaching out soon after the announcement of the Board’s intention to close the College.  We have gone through the arc of shock, heartbreak, outrage, and back again and will continue to do so.

The Reunion was an amazing experience.  Six hundred people were standing up with us and saying “NO! This can’t happen.”  So many recent (90’s-2000”s) grads came back to organize the defense who were Photo and Media Arts students.  It was pure sweetness to see them, to introduce them to each other, (they knew each other by reputation alone), and to dance with them until 3:00am.

Hundreds of people are working tirelessly across the country to organize and confront the decision to close.  (Thank you for your sustained efforts on behalf of our loved College).  People are organizing chapters, fundraisers, writing letters to counter the negative press that has been provoked by the announcement.

Soon after the first few days of grief, the faculty started meeting and have agreed to consult legal counsel regarding a case to keep the College open.  We question the legality of declaring financial exigency for one unit of the University, of not following due diligence in their decision to close the College without consultation with the Faculty or ADCIL, as per our Personnel Policies.  The decision to close the College for four years conveniently eliminates the necessity of offering jobs to tenured faculty if the college is re-opened. The faculty are the holders of the institutional memory, deeply committed to self-governance and democratic processes, (as messy and difficult as they can be).

Probably the most outrageous factor in this decision by the Board and the University leadership is the intention of designing the “New  (Renewed) Antioch” using “experts” and focus groups.  Current faculty, students, our very active Alumni, and a broad cross section of Village interests have not been invited to participate in the planning process.  This replicates the Renewal Commission constituted in 2003, that included only two Antioch Faculty (among a total of seventeen) national experts in Higher Education to craft a curriculum for the 21st Century in a nine-month period, which was then handed to the faculty to implement.   As resistant to a mandated curriculum as you can imagine we were, we took on the task, with good faith, and worked to make the idea of an interdisciplinary curriculum our own.  We struggled with a highly intensive “learning community” model that engaged most of our senior faculty in the first year Core program for the two years of implementation,
while simultaneously delivering the upper level “old” curriculum, and inventing the “new” upper level interdisciplinary program, We were problem solving making the program attractive, challenging, and affordable, and voted to reduce the co-op program to three terms with another “summer of choice” option, taking out a big chunk of what constitutes our (as alumni) experience of an  Antioch education.    We feel proud of the first year program we created, that reflected our traditional commitments to social justice, development of critical thinking and writing skills, global perspectives, community-based learning, and familiarity with a number of forms of creative expression.

The Board promised us five years to make the program economically viable. They recognized there would be shortfalls in revenue in this transition.  They also promised to raise twenty million dollars to renovate the Student Union, dorms, and the Library.  That never happened.

Our first year entering class was 65 students, brave souls who were ready to participate in an experiment, or who had no idea what they were coming to, since we hadn’t had time to design, and advertise it.  On June 9th  of this year, the Board of Trustees pulled the plug on the process.

As a faculty member who taught twice in the new Core program, I would have liked the Board to have come to campus this spring to talk to students and faculty about the new curriculum, its successes and difficulties, rather than asking a consultant to run enrollment projections for the next five years, which was their basis for making such a momentous decision.  They might have heard from students about their level of satisfaction with the vitality of the program, the level of challenge and engagement.  They would have seen a highly effective team of Community Government leaders providing responsible and heart-felt leadership in some of the most difficult circumstances I have experienced here.  My biggest sense of loss comes from not getting to continue working with those students from American Identities, Fall 2006, where we worked deeply and closely on understanding the complexities of race, class, representation, cultural understanding, and expression of those complexities through literature.

Antioch is not a place that you can attend, work at, or teach at casually.  It demands a level of energy, resilience, creativity, critical examination, and courage that is hard to find in most work environments.  It also means that the rewards are enormous, in participating with students as they discover their passions, talents, their “path”, in working with colleagues and staff who share the core belief that our efforts matter.    I will have this love and dedication and gratitude for the rest of my days.  Thank you all for being a part of my Adventure.

So what can you do?

**Go to antiochians.org for news, local chapter information, actions, and ways to donate.  The point of donating, or pledging to donate, is to empower the Alumni Board to be able to negotiate with the Board of Trustees to GIVE UP THE COLLEGE to an autonomous board of oversight, that is committed solely to the operations of the College, and who would organize a Revival of the College based on principles of academic freedom, self-governance, and would use the life skills of Antioch alum, faculty, students, and Villagers in designing a college that is sustainable, vital, engaged in theory and practice in the local community and the world.

**Donate to the Antioch Faculty Legal Information Fund account at: Yellow Springs Federal Credit Union 217 Xenia Ave. Yellow Springs, OH 45387 Contributions to this account are not tax deductible, but are most appreciated at this time.

**Contribute your testimonial – how Antioch gave you tools and direction to do the work you are doing today.  We are using these to lift up the power of an Antioch education – over the past decades – to demonstrate what might be lost if the College closes.  Help us name the “it” in “Be Ashamed to let IT Die”.  Send testimonials to me at: deagleson@antioch-college.edu
<<  We need them FAST!!! >>  BEFORE the August 23rd Board of Trustees Emergency Board Meeting (despite Toni Murdoch, Chancellor of the University saying recently that the decision to close was not reversible).  We need to persuade them otherwise, and visibly and vocally support the Alumni Board in their negotiations.

**Adopt a current student.  They are feeling heart-broken, (and maligned) and need to know they live in a larger web of concerned alumni and friends of the College.  Our Associate Dean of Faculty, Eli Nettles, and our Associate Dean of the Core Program, Janice Kinghorn, have been contacting first year and continuing students over the summer.   Between fifty and seventy first year students intend to come to Antioch this fall, perhaps because they didn’t have time to make other arrangements after the announcement on June 12th, OR they saw something pretty compelling when they came to visit last year, and want to be a part of what may be our last year in this iteration.

**Contribute your vision, energy, and wisdom to the effort to keep the College open.

Much love to all of you!
Dennie
