Several  alumni realized this which
is where the AIF came from: the College entirely  ignored them (my aunt --
who, for some reason, isn't participating here --  was an AIF participant).




I think AIF left lots of us totally disillusioned with Antioch -- forever  
probably, but certainly we remember well being kicked about while the fund was  
in existence, and nicely slammed when the point of it all -- a plan for an  
independent College Board of Trustees, was not even open to negotiation, and we  
sent the funds on to the secondary charitable designees.  
 
I wonder if those who just assume Alumni are going to open the checkbooks  
have looked at that list of members of AIF, and the various reports about the  
history of that effort.  Illusions are fine, but sometimes there is some  hard 
evidence about what has previously been attempted, that needs to be  
understood if your assumptions are realistic.
