Antioch's Public Trial
In one week (April 1, 2008) the 1st trial of Antioch College/University will go public. Greene County Magistrate Judge George Reynolds has taken the unusual step of calling for an evidentiary hearing in open court with witnesses on the stand in order to rule (in whole or in part) on the College Faculty’s request for Injunctive Relief against Antioch University. Attached is the Antioch College Faculty’s “Complaint for Specific Performance and Preliminary and Permanent Injunctive Relief.” Other links to the case outside the Antioch Papers website can be found at:

Section IV A 56 of the Faculty Personnel Policies and Procedures defines financial exigency as “a situation where an imminent financial crisis exists which threatens the survival of the College and cannot be alleviated by less drastic means.” Page 6
