Hi from Tex Allen (aka David Allen, aka Yazz Allen), Antioch alumnus (TexAllen@Hotmail.Com):

It looks like Antioch is going out with a whimper, not a bang.

The "bang" potential got drained away with all the exhausting "negotiations" (after the people who declared themselves the leadership of the opposition to the AU BOT accepted the AU BOT contention that "not enough money" was available for running Antioch...a total lie....running Antioch on almost no money was and still is quite possible), the silence and wimpy acceptance of Antioch's decreed fate thanks to the AU BOT is ominous.

Everybody and most media are talked out. The closedown of Antioch is old news, like the invasion of Iraq, another outragreous event nobody objects to or even discusses any more.

I remind any who read this that this close-down did NOT have to happen, and is based on the false premise that only monster money can run valuable, historic social institutions like Antioch. The closedown of Antioch College Ohio is a coup for big money, of which the AU BOT zillionaires are zealous cutthroat representatives and advocates.

Warmest wishes,
Tex Allen
