Article on why Antioch University is closing

This is an in depth article that tries to explain why Antioch Univertsity is closing after all. I think we need to look at it to understand what the pitfalls were that they fell into.

Personally I’m sad because not only did I get my MAT from Antioch, but I met Arthur Morgan, who founded the college in its present form.

I also got my BA from Goddard, which closed its regular undergraduate program several years ago to focus on a series of low residency intensive programs. We were furious at the time but now it appears to look like they were ahead of the curve.
