To truly reverse its closure, Antioch College needs to begin acting like
it¹s open, and begin building on its vibrant academic foundation to grow
into a healthy, self-sufficient institution.

To make this happen, Antioch must immediately:

* establish the College Advisory Board and invest it with real authority,
including hiring a College President
* remove internal barriers and begin recruiting and admitting new and
transfer students for Fall 2008
* restore tenure and remove the threat of firing that hangs over faculty and
staff
* maintain all academic and support services during renovations
* hold leadership accountable for past decisions and statements
* ensure an open and participatory decision making process
* guarantee a commitment from leadership to operate on principles of
openness and honesty
* have leaders committed to the turnaround of Antioch College
* call for respect in communications from all university officials so the
College¹s already challenging task isn¹t made more difficult

We will contact you in the coming weeks with an invitation to become
involved with the Antioch College Action Network, an independent collective
of students, faculty, staff, alumni, villagers and friends of the college.
Your email address will be used to no other ends.

Sincerely,

the Antioch College Action Network
