The faculty of the old Antioch College, including those faulty who were laid off, were at the core of creating and sustaining those assets. Thus we believe that such benefits entail certain continuing responsibilities to those long standing employees who are qualified for and remain available for positions in the new college--especially the tenured faculty." ]]> http://facultyjustice.org/letters/an-open-letter-from-the-aaup-to-antioch-college/feed/ 0 http://facultyjustice.org/statements/why-should-antioch-college-follow-the-aaup-recommendations/ http://facultyjustice.org/statements/why-should-antioch-college-follow-the-aaup-recommendations/#comments Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:36:33 +0000 Faculty http://facultyjustice.org/?p=295 Excerpt: How ironic that the daily efforts of these very people to carry on the College’s mission of academic excellence in the face of steadily deteriorating infrastructure, staff cutbacks, faculty hiring freezes, and an unresponsive governance system—the very work and idealism that persuaded objective reviewers that the College and the University merited accreditation despite manifest institutional problems—has now been scapegoated as contributing to the College’s closure in an unsupported and opportunistic justification to begin with a ‘clean slate.’ ]]> http://facultyjustice.org/statements/why-should-antioch-college-follow-the-aaup-recommendations/feed/ 0 http://facultyjustice.org/news/welcome-to-the-website/ http://facultyjustice.org/news/welcome-to-the-website/#comments Thu, 07 Oct 2010 04:01:34 +0000 Faculty http://facultyjustice.org/?p=106 Excerpt: The Ad Hoc Tenured Faculty Committee announces the opening of facultyjustice.org, an online archive of letters and documents spanning 2008-2010. This group of former tenured faculty of Antioch College, having lost their professional positions through Antioch University's arbitrary and unnecessary closure of the College, is requesting that the new Antioch College Board of Trustees Pro Tempore agree to conduct a hiring process that acknowledges their former tenured status at the College and is consistent with the procedures and standards recommended by their professional organization, the American Association of University Professors (AAUP).

First, Antioch College administration would finalize a list of what positions need to be filled for the 2011-12 academic year. Next, College administration would work together with the group of former tenured faculty or their representatives with assistance from the AAUP staff to review the list of positions and curricular needs, review the professional and teaching experience of the former faculty, and then determine who among the former tenured faculty are "qualified" for reinstatement for positions within the new curriculum. Remaining searches for 2011-12 would go forward following the decisions about reinstatement.

We are experienced professionals whose commitment to the College has been tested by time. With few exceptions, the tenured faculty was hired through comprehensive national searches. Our tenure status was earned through rigorous multi-year processes of peer review incorporating numerous internal and external evaluations in order to assess our long-term value to the institution. We bring with us a unique wealth of experience with, and deep knowledge of, Antioch's distinctive mix of Co-op and the liberal arts, with its long traditions of faculty and community participation, with its outward-looking, globally-oriented educational mission.

The College faculty provide initial financial support for this lawsuit; within the next year the College Revival Fund assumes financial support for this lawsuit.

To date this has been the only in-depth investigation of the closing of the College... If Antioch College seeks to perpetuate its founding values of justice, fairness, and respect, it is then bound both professionally and morally to engage the tenured faculty and/or its chosen representatives in a timely manner as it plans to receive students for fall 2011.
