Where "progressives" attend college

For some time now, I've been beating on the ruins "progressive" government has turned our cities and school districts into. But what about colleges run by "progressives" and who's alumni are "progressive" such as Antioch College, in Yellow Springs Ohio.

Antioch College is scheduled to close this summer for the 2008-09 academic year after trustees confimed a decision made last year.

The board of the Yellow Springs school said at a meeting in Los Angeles that it opted to suspend the college effective June 30 and close it for the 2008-09 academic year after it ran out of time to reach an agreement on the transfer of the college to an independent group called the Antioch College Continuation Corp. The board hopes to reopen for the 2009-10 academic year.

The board had decided in November to reverse a decision to close the financially troubled college after alumni raised millions of dollars and reached an agreement in principle with the board to halt the decision. In a statement Friday, the board said several large donors and members of the alumni board disputed the agreements and insisted on more authority for the proposed separate board of trustees and ultimately a full separation.

The decision will affect about 200 students and more than 120 faculty and staff, the university said.

I guess they can't even run a "progressive" university either. Gee, I wonder how this school stacks up against Hillsdale college who takes no federal or state funding for any of it's curriculum.
