AAUP Letters to Antioch University - March 14, 2008 and March 4, 2008
In the March 14 letter from the (AAUP) American Association of University Professors to Antioch University, it appears that the silence of Antioch University Chancellor Murdock, Chairman Zucker, and COO Bloch is leading the Antioch University Administration (Trustees included) toward a potential censure investigation by the AAUP. The March 4 letter from the AAUP marks the beginning of Antioch University Administration’s period of silence.

March 14 Excerpts:
“Your decision not to respond substantively to our queries has heightened our concerns.”
“We will be watching further developments closely, and hope to learn that an agreement has been reached that will ensure the college’s continuing and uninterrupted existence. Absent such an agreement, we shall determine our further course of action consistent with our established policies.”
March 4 Excerpt:
“In view, however, of Antioch College’s historic importance in American higher education, and noting that the AAUP has long called on governing boards to consider all feasible alternatives to terminating faculty appointments when faced with dire financial problems, we urge the trustees to keep working with the ACCC to reach an agreement that will allow the college to continue its operations uninterrupted.”
