Email from President Jane K. Fernandes to the Antioch College Board of Trustees, dated Saturday June 27, 2026, giving the trustees advance warning about a front-page article in the Antioch Record featuring two students in support of Professor Michael Casselli. Fernandes tells trustees she doesn’t want them to be “surprised or freaked out,” frames the Casselli case as a personnel matter about which she cannot share details, and invokes “the safety of campus and all community members” as her framework for balancing student input. The email is notable as evidence of how the administration coordinates messaging with the board around ongoing faculty-personnel and academic-freedom controversies at the college.
