<p>Wonder if this was prompted by Antioch grad Mario Capecchi's Nobel</a> Prize acceptance earlier this year...</p>
<p>The alumni really rallied.</p>
<p>All RIGHT!!!! I recall that thread when we heard the news going in the downward direction. Here's to loyal alumni, including BethieVt.</p>
<p>That's awesome news. I wonder what they're going to do about filling the class of 2012, though, especially since the decision is conditional.</p>

<p>The Board changed its mind; Antioch to close for 2008-09, at least. Too bad.</p>

<p>I don't know why everyone is surprised by this. While I fully support any institution to fulfill its agenda, this school, under the guise of social justice, has pushed a disconnected from reality Marxist curriculum (in one variant or another) that by and large has little utility to anyone. And since there are a number of other schools that have that capability - while also serving to educate in other, useful fields, one would that supporters of this private school would grasp reality and have realized that there were significant limitations to their Stalinesque views in the education marketplace (or maybe even the word marketplace is scary to them). In any event, any institution that fails to become even remotely relevant has to worry about its demise - and that day has arrived.</p>
<p>One of the many reasons why the closure of Antioch is so sad.</p>
