[School] Antioch University [Issue and Date] I taught for two years at the AULA campus and on the whole had very great colleagues and some amazing students, but the administration rivals what one would find in a totalitarian regime. The faculty has zero power and Antioch might as well be producing widgets for all the attention the university gives to student learning. The classrooms at AULA are antiquated (I've worked in high schools with vastly superior resources) and the only incentive at this institution is to make money - lots and lots of it. It was easily the strangest place I have ever worked. Antioch University bears no resemblance to the now defunct but once great liberal arts college of the same name. AAUP recenlty sanctioned Antioch for its lack of transparency in dealing with the closure of the college and the dismissal of tenured faculty. For the record: I was an interim appointment who did not get the full-time position (they gave it to a very talented woman whose credentials were more in line with the program I was running). Rather than being bitter about this experience (which one might be), I'm so incredibly grateful to not have to work at this place anymore. Being unemployed feels better than having a job at Antioch. I am particularly interested in this entry, as they just posted this job today (12/7): http://www.higheredjobs.com/details.cfm?JobCode=175582769 I know we have to have a measure of confidentiality, but I wonder how much this place has changed since they reopened earlier this term. Any insight any of you can give would be much appreciated. I'm so thankful for this wiki, but am conflicted about whether to proceed and apply. Just a note on the above question: Antioch College now as no affiliation whatsoever with Antioch University. The story here is quite long and boring, but there was long, messy divorce that resulted in the closure of the small residential college, which is now re-opening. So whatever is wrong with AU, and whatever may be wrong with AC, they're not related and probably don't belong in the same entry. (I casually know a few people involved in the reopening of the college, and they're pretty excited about the project and have nothing but good things to say about it. That said, that job should be considered less secure than the average TT position for the sole reason that the college might not make it. Financially, they're not yet solid.) [Department]
