[Alumni-chat] Patrick Cates Problems with Antioch

[Michael Brower]

Early this month Patrick Cates complained that Antioch's first year  
core curriculum is just a "half-assed copy" of Evergreen's.  Now he  
wants Bob Devine to lighten up.  Patrick, I have four questions for you:

1.  What is your gripe with Antioch?

2.  What specific suggestions have you for improving Antioch's  
curriculum, learning experiences, student recruitment, retention,  
fund raising, etc., etc.?

3.  What specifically are you yourself doing, or have you done  
recently, to help Antioch thrive, grow, survive, become again an  
excellent model for all of higher education, etc., etc.?

4.  By the way, what years were you at Antioch?

Thanks for caring about our beloved Antioch.  But please lighten up  
yourself.  And start helping.  Or let us know how you are now helping  
and how we can ourselves help more.
