In 2007 members of the former faculty of Antioch College filed a lawsuit alleging that Antioch University violated the Antioch “College Faculty Personnel Policies”. According to this contractual document, the University is mandated to seek "less drastic means" to closure through "consultation" with the College's Administrative Council, AdCil. Specifically, the University is required to work with AdCil to development "a plan and timetable for abating financial emergency" or closure. The faculty lawsuit alleges that Antioch University officers refused to meet with AdCil to develop this plan or explore less drastic means.
A ruling on the appeal is expected sometime within the next 12 weeks.
