The Decline and Fall of Antioch College

Those of you who have access to the Chronicle of Higher Education would be well served to seek out the July 20th edition, particularly the Chronicle Review section, and the profound, thoughtful article by Ralph Keyes within. Mr. Keyes graduated from Antioch College when that still meant something, and his ruminations on the University’s ruination are somber, but important.

One could easily draw similarities between the Antioch University of 1965 and the charter schools of today. Hopefully the charter movement gets a better sendoff.
