Worries at Antioch College Concerns rise over enrollment and finances at the storied small liberal arts college in Ohio.- Rick Seltzer, Inside Higher Ed

Some faculty members have grown increasingly unsettled about Antioch College’s future, worrying the small private liberal arts college in western Ohio is trailing enrollment goals for its upcoming fall quarter even as it comes off a period of furloughs and pay cuts. College officials on Thursday disputed an anonymous tip that Antioch currently has 34 new students signed up for its Class of 2022, significantly trailing a goal of 75 that was made public earlier this year. Antioch is focused instead on enrolling the right mix of students to hit a new revenue target, they said. But they did not share any alternative new student enrollment snapshot Thursday, saying only that the college is on track for a significant increase over last year. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2018/07/06/antioch-college-survived-furloughs-and-salary-cuts-worries-remain
