Excerpts:
“As Cary makes clear, he attended a series of meetings in Yellow Springs in June. There he would have heard BOT members and university officials repeatedly assert that the five satellite campuses are healthy and operating in the black. They are endangered, so university officials testified, only by their association with Antioch College. If the college is sold to the ACCC, therefore, the risk to the other campuses is eliminated and their 200 faculty protected. Of course faculty anywhere can call on the AAUP for assistance, as Antioch College faculty did.”

“This would suggest that AAUP and Cary Nelson especially would condone putting at risk the well-being and future of the other 200 members of the Antioch University full-time faculty and the University’s more than 4,000 students – all for the sake of the 40 faculty members of the College.”
