The NJ Alumni Chapter urges the Antioch Board of Trustees to meet with the representatives of the Antioch College Alumni Board and all appropriate stakeholders of faculty, staff, students and the village of Yellow Springs, to reconfigure the agenda for the August 25th open session meeting to make it more inclusive. The more inclusive the meeting, the greater the consensus, the better the results will be.

The NJ Alumni Chapter supports the Antioch College Alumni Association Agenda for the AU BOT meeting on 8-25-07 as approved by Alumni Board on its 8-2-07 conference call, with the following amendment to point 3 (amendment in italicized bold):  “Establish a self-governing, independent College Board of Trustees with members initially selected by the Alumni Board in collaboration with the College President and [all appropriate stakeholders of faculty, staff, students and the village of Yellow Springs].”

Across the country alumni are organizing, impelled by a common passion for an alternative future for our college. Please join us in drawing creative and inspiring solutions from our collective Antiochian wellspring.

You’re invited to the kick-off gathering of the Western Mass. alumni chapter. We’ll have a chance to socialize and get the latest news about the College. This is part of Support Antioch College Weekend, sponsored by alumni chapters across the country and designed to raise awareness and support for Antioch College.
