New Jersey Chapter Statement to the University Board of Trustees

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].”
