I  thought Dave Apter was Paula Treichler's husband. Both Apter and Nelson
have written in the Chronicle recently in support of the College.

In my opinion AAUP censure has probably not hurt cited colleges monetarily.
For instance, Husson College here in Maine seems to be flourishing. On the
other hand when a committee of academics publishes the dirty linen in its
official journal ("Academe") it certainly tarnishes your reputation among
scholars and probably many foundations. A bigger story may be that
professors probably are losing ground in their struggles with corporate
minded boards of trustees.

And  I would be heartened if Antioch University were censored! (A signal
that Katy Jako was right, bless her. )
