Antioch Confidential
by Tim Noble and Brian Springer

Antioch Confidential examines several documents that were until now Antioch University attorney-client privileged communications.  What role has this confidentiality played in the health of a College that has functioned through a decades-old shared governance system, a governance system that has been integrated as a major component of its educational curriculum and that has historically brought students to the College?  Click here to download the Antioch Confidential paper.  Below is a companion video with the same title.
