Hi from Tex (aka Yazz aka David) Allen '66 (Email me at TexAllen@Hotmail.Com):

Antioch alumni I've been in contact with have emailed me recently and asked if Antioch College Ohio will reopen after being closed down by the Antioch University Board Of Trustees in June 2008.

I've replied to several people, and laid out the facts as I see them briefly, and hopefully without tears. The closing of Antioch College Ohio is a terrible (and unneccessary) tragedy, but it appears to be a done deal. Time to face up to that, and move on....respectfully.

Here, FYI, is the text of my summary of what happened, and why. I may not be correct and Antioch College Ohio may indeed re-open again soon or at least someday. I hope that happens.

Meanwhile, here's what I've replied to Antiochians who contacted me, asked if Antioch will re-open, and "what happened?"
