- Antioch College is a private, independent liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio, United States. It was the founder and flagship institution of the six campus Antioch University system. Founded in 1852 by the Christian Connection, the college began operating in 1853 with Horace Mann as its first president. Its educational approach blended practical work experience with classroom learning and participatory community governance, and students received narrative evaluations instead of letter grades. The enrollment during the most recent academic year in which it was open for classes (2007-08) was under 200 students. In June 2007, the University’s Board of Trustees announced that the college would be suspending operations as of July 2008, and would try to reopen in 2012. On June 30, 2009, it was announced that Antioch University had agreed to transfer the campus, endowment, and adjoining Glen Helen Nature Preserve to the Antioch College Continuation Corporation, an alumni-led group seeking a reopening of the college. The transfer of assets was completed on September 4, 2009. Previously, more than half of the Antioch College faculty had filed a lawsuit in August 2007 to bar Antioch University from firing the college's tenured faculty or liquidating the college's assets. The case was dismissed by the Greene County Common Pleas Court on November 26, 2008. The Court held that "the decision to declare financial exigency or to use less drastic means than that to alleviate the University's financial problems is a business judgment. " The announcement of the suspension of the College sparked an intensive fundraising drive by the college's alumni association. On November 3, 2007, the University Board of Trustees agreed to explore alternatives for the college to remain open. Negotiations broke down in late March 2008, however, greatly increasing the likelihood that the college would close at the end of the 2007-2008 academic year. The College closed in June 2008. However, the Trustees passed a resolution on June 7, 2008 stating "that the Trustees request the [Alumni] Association create the necessary process, plans, and resources for the development of an independent four-year, residential, liberal arts college in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and a business plan for the transfer of assets from the University, and to present those plans to the Trustees for their consideration and approval and that the Association present its timetable for implementing this request to the Trustees. " On July 18, 2008, the Dayton Daily News reported that the directors of the Antioch College Alumni Association and trustees of Antioch University have "agreed on the framework for a plan to create a new, fully independent Antioch College. " Antioch College is a member of the Great Lakes Colleges Association, which mediated negotiations for transfer of the College from Antioch University to the ACCC, and the North American Alliance for Green Education. It was formerly also a member of the Eco League. Current efforts to keep the College alive include the Nonstop Liberal Arts Institute and the College Revival Fund . On July 17, 2008, the Antioch University Board of Trustees and the Board of Directors of the Antioch College Alumni Association announced their intention to create a fully independent Antioch College that would open at an early date. The negotiations will be facilitated in part by the Great Lakes College Association
