On May 12, 2009, the Court of Appeals of Ohio, Second Appellate District, heard an appeal on behalf of the members of the former faculty of Antioch College regarding reinstatement of their recently dismissed lawsuit against Antioch University.
In 2007 members of the former faculty of Antioch College filed a lawsuit alleging that Antioch University violated the Antioch “College Faculty Personnel Policies”. According to this contractual document, the University is mandated to seek “less drastic means” to closure through “consultation” with the College’s Administrative Council, AdCil. Specifically, the University is required to work with AdCil to development “a plan and timetable for abating financial emergency” or closure. The faculty lawsuit alleges that Antioch University officers refused to meet with AdCil to develop this plan or explore less drastic means.
A ruling on the appeal is expected sometime within the next 12 weeks.

Jean Gregorek, Nonstop faculty member, gave this presentation on the state of higher education as part of the inaugural event of nonstop’s ‘festival week’–a week organized by ‘nonstop presents’ designed to showcase the contributions of antioch alumni and to provide intellectual and artistic enrichment for the yellow springs/greater miami valley community.
The festival week featured film screenings, talks, book readings, workshops, dance performances, and reports from nonstop classes and student groups. She describes this presentation as:
‘another education is possible–i hope’ was a first pass at constructing a genealogy of various strands of utopian thought that have gone into the making of the educational ideals of antioch college, culminating in a (too-) brief meditation on the influence of the ongoing alter-globalization movement and current thinking on bioregionalism and what these new directions might imply for a small and struggling educational institution.
