[Alumni-chat] Antioch future vision

[Spock, Dan]

That's right. The hard correlated facts of money and enrollment, very much linked. Better to face it. And it can be faced without sacrificing any sense of of the worth of the student body or faculty of the College, or the basic Antioch ethos, today, historically, ever. It just is was it is and we have to do something about it. And that means change. Or closure.

I like change. You will too.

Thanks Mark,

Dan Spock, '83

If you look at those top 49 liberal arts colleges many of them have
endowments over $500,000,000 and student bodies of over 1,000. That's how
they can afford those subsidies. The plan for 800 students by 2000 didn't
happen. That's why the BOT instituted the Renewal Plan.

As for relying on student tuition revenue to support
the program, in a study done in 2001, the top 49
liberal arts colleges ALL 'subsidized' their student
tuition from other sources. The average was about $13K
per STUDENT in subsidized revenue; i.e. on average it
cost $13K more per student to educate them then what
was paid in tuition, a cost that had to be funded from
other sources. Antioch College being low on sources to
'subsidize' the cost per student (small endowment,
heavy reliance on yearly gifts), was dealt a death
blow when the amount required as a 'subsidy'
drastically increased with the poorly thought out
decision to change the curriculum.
