I think that’s too bad. The school provided an outlet for some admittedly differently oriented political literature and spokespersons, but morre dissenting speech, not less, it good for the dialogue and keeps the debate intellectuall focused, albeit oftentime heated. Never been there but I have met some of the school’s graduates and enjoyed listening to their views. And, not their grads are coo-coo nutcases, some articulate their positions well. It may be a misguided position to be sure, like some of the total disarmament discussion of the 1920 & 30s as the European and Asia threat grew, but a well argued erroneous position can be countered with equally well argued sense.

There are some pretty cool bars in Yellow Springs also. Thats always a victim when these things happen.

Beautiful campus. Quaint town. They say this is "only for 4 years or so" and then they hope to re-open.

The Antioch College System has other campuses (campii?) in Seattle, Los Angeles and Santa Barbra, Ca.

Let us not forget that this dump had Mumia Abu-Jamal as commencement speaker (via audio tape) a few years back. When Maureen Faulkner (widow of Officer Daniel Faulkner, murdered by Mumia), traveled to Antioch to protest, she was met with throngs of students and faculty threatening her with physical harm and tell her to “leave, and take your hate with you.”

May Antioch stay dead. Forever.
