The Antioch University Board of Trustees and Antioch College Alumni Association have decided that Antioch College is not over -- or at least the originally planned suspension of operations is not over, for the meantime. 

To me Antioch College is an interesting case in mediocre governance, particularly in defining who is responsible for determining mission, policy and practice when the college ethos is to engage all in this work and "all" don't agree.  There are also lessons to be learned about being strategic when it comes to raising money and giving a college a solid economic footing.

Meanwhile, it's reconstruction time and the board and Alumni Association have teamed up to make everything OK.  A recent letter to everyone ever engaged with the college noted that what's next and why can be viewed at the College alumni website, www.antioch-college.edu/Alumni/.

We await the results of this mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
