Every time Art Zucker completes one of his stern lectures, he asks for "money, and lots of it."

Which leads me to believe that the donors he can count upon for Antioch 2012 fit on the finger of one hand. And cannot provide the money required. 

I have thought that they would cannibalize the campus and get the money that way, but the 2012 brain trust here on the boards seems to think the greater Dayton area is valued along the lines of central Detroit. 

The Antioch Papers state the plan was to find a developer. Then, if no developer was found, to close the college. Since they closed the college, we can assume was no re-development interest before June 12 (reports of surveyors on campus notwithstanding).

Which gives the greater mass of Alumni something more of a say in the college's future. I hope at the meetings Sunday there alumni will take the opportunity to discuss the shape of that future with their elected representatives.
