> Keene, NH, June 7, 2008-Today, in a surprise announcement, the  
> Antioch University Board of Trustees unanimously passed a  
> resolution calling for the Alumni Association to create the process  
> to secure Antioch College's independence from Antioch University,  
> with its own board of trustees. Additionally, the resolution calls  
> for the Alumni Board to craft a business plan for the transfer of  
> assets from the University.
>
> "The Antioch College Alumni Association stands ready to continue  
> Antioch College as a residential, undergraduate four-year liberal  
> arts program with shared governance and a tenured faculty," said  
> Nancy Crow, President of the Alumni Board. "We thank the University  
> Board of Trustees for making the decision to turn the process over  
> to the elected representatives of the College alumni. By doing so,  
> they have ended ten months of anguish."
>
> Matthew Derr, a member of the Executive Committee of the Alumni  
> Board, said, "As Antioch College moves forward with  plans for its  
> independent future, we acknowledge the accomplishments of the  
> University campuses and their programs. We hope that they will  
> continue to flourish as they follow their own paths."
>
> When asked how this resolution differs from previous agreements,  
> Crow replied: "This is startlingly different. This is a resolution  
> supporting complete independence from the University. Additionally,  
> the Board of Trustees is asking the alumni to create the process,  
> not to work within a prescribed process."
>
> She continued, "I know I echo the feelings of many alumni when I  
> say how grateful we are for the courage demonstrated by the Board  
> of Trustees by this decision. We look forward to ensuring our  
> process moves forward swiftly."
>
> This resolution comes two weeks before alumni around the world are  
> to come to Yellow Springs for the College Reunion, June 20 - 22.  
> Crow said, "We need alumni to come to campus to help the Alumni  
> Association Board craft the plans needed to create a well-funded,  
> vigorous and vital Antioch College for the next 155 years-at least!"
