Antioch: Report From Ground Zero

This lengthy op-ed from Inside Higher Ed by Paula Treichler protrays her perspective of the past year in the history of Antioch University, as someone deeply involved in activism on behalf of students, faculty, staff, and alumn - but no longer an official member of the institution's management or governance. (Official views and news can be found on Antioch's Story of the College, and on other portions of its website. The op-ed piece is introduced in this way:

Antioch University was given an advance copy of the following op-ed, with the permission of the author, and offered the chance to respond with its own statement that would have appeared simultaneously with the publication of this piece, so that the university could offer its views and analysis of the issues discussed. After initially indicating that it would do so, and confirming as late as Wednesday afternoon that it would do so, the university stopped returning calls or responding to e-mails about theop-ed piece and indicated through an outside public relations official that it would not respond at this time. At the same time, the university’s lawyers sent a letter objecting to any use of the phrase “NonStop Antioch,” the former name of an effort mentioned in this op-ed.
