Where is Antioch in Antioch University?

While it was clear at the BOT meeting in November 2006, that the college was in dire straits, Chancellor Toni Murdock then presented a humorous PowerPoint presentation to the assembled press and trustees, focusing on “infrastructures of success,” “Image Issues” and the University golfing team. Among a series of slides were two pictures showing an abacus and an oil drill, the first titled “no more of this,” the second “more of this.”
The symbolism could not have been greater, to indicate how far this university has gone astray from the ideas and values of its mother, Antioch College, an institution of education, careful deliberation and socially responsible decisions.
We, the editors of The Blaze wonder: Where is Antioch in Antioch University?
We for our part say…

Non-Stop Antioch=

No more of this…
This is what the new campus, Antioch Alaska, will look like.
More of this.
Maybe the Board of Trustees should have spent more time using one of these.
