Keene, NH -- More than nine hundred Antioch College alumni and former students, faculty and staff called for the resignation of Antioch University Chancellor Toni Murdock and Board of Trustees Chair Art Zucker.
The 900-plus signed onto a petition circulated by an alumni group, Antioch College Action Network, that is being presented to Antioch University trustees at their June 5-8 meeting in Keene, New Hampshire.
In June, 2007, under the direction of Murdock and Zucker, the Antioch University Board of Trustees voted to suspend operations at Antioch College effective June 30, 2008, triggering a remarkable outpouring of alumni organizing and fundraising to keep the College alive. Last month, after nearly six months of negotiations, the board narrowly rejected a deal with alumni major donors which would have allowed the College to continue operating.
Alumni involved in the negotiations have said the University negotiating team, led by Murdock and Zucker, repeatedly obstructed a resolution.
The petition states: "Chancellor Murdock and Chair Zucker have failed in their stewardship and fiduciary obligations to safeguard the future of the College. We are calling for their immediate resignation from their positions, either voluntarily or by action by board members who recognize the failures of the past and the need for change in leadership."
