June 23, 2007 This document is the result of a community process facilitated by Antioch College Community Government, past and present. The role of Community Government is and has been to facilitate communication and collaborative decision-making with staff, students, faculty, and alumni to make Antioch College reflective of its community.

Today, Antioch College students, alumni, faculty and members of the Yellow Springs community came together to form plans to rescue Antioch College from immediate suspension of operations. This is a working
document, and does not represent foreclosure on further discussion, generation of options, or action.

We would like to add that it was our education at Antioch College and our experience with shared governance that made this process possible.

As community members, we invoke the spirit of Horace Mann when we say, "Be ashamed to let it die!"
