Faculty withdraw lawsuit “without prejudice” on 11/13/07
The faculty lawsuit was withdrawn “without prejudice” on November 13. Withdrawing a lawsuit “without prejudice” means, in legal terms, that the suit can be refiled at any time, and will continue exactly where it left off within the legal system.
The faculty lawsuit was to find the “least drastic solution” to the current fiscal problems. When the Antioch College Alumni Board signed documents with the Antioch University Board of Trustees to keep the college open, that was a “least drastic solution” that effectively “mooted” the faculty lawsuit. The faculty were advised by their legal council, Evin Price of Bailey Cavalieri, to withdraw the lawsuit “without prejudice” rather than to drop the lawsuit. If conditions in the future change, the lawsuit can be refiled in the legal system as if it never left.
