Dear Senior Vice President for Operations Neuhardt:
This letter serves as formal notification and official record of action taken concerning Antioch College by the Institutional
Actions Council of the Higher Learning Commission at its meeting on March 8, 2021. The date of this action constitutes
the effective date of the institution’s new status with HLC.
Action with Interim Monitoring. |AC continued the accreditation of Antioch College, with the next Reaffirmation of
Accreditation in 2025-26. In conjunction with this action, [AC required the following interim monitoring.
Interim Report. An Interim Report due 6/21/22 on (1) an update on the situation in which two members of the governing
Board of Trustees also fill senior administrative roles in the day-to-day operation of Antioch and therefore oversees the
day-to-day management of the institution; (2) a report on progress on a plan to eventually recruit sufficient numbers of
faculty to drive and manage effectual faculty evaluation and faculty development processes; (3) establishing of
measurement metrics for Antioch’s strategic plans, goals and objectives by using measurable Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs). The strategic plan clearly should flow from the mission and incorporate the institution’s student learning outcomes
in addition to its other priorities.
Interim Report. An Interim Report due 6/21/23 on a plan to regularly collect data–specifically through direct embedded
assessment–for all LALOs; created formal assessment plans for General Education, the Language and Culture Program,
Co-op, and the Bachelor’s degree; and created a formal assessment plan for the co-curricular programs, including
determining meaningful outcomes and the use of data to systematically drive improvement.
In taking this action, the IAC considered materials from the most recent evaluation and the institutional response (if
applicable) to the evaluation findings.
In two weeks, this action will be added to the /nstitutional Status and Requirements (ISR) Report, a resource for
Accreditation Liaison Officers to review and manage information regarding the institution’s accreditation relationship.
Accreditation Liaison Officers may request the ISR Report on HLC’s website at https://www.hlcommission.org/
ist-request.
Within the next 30 days, HLC will also publish information about this action on its website at
https://www.hlcommission.org/Student-Resources/recent-actions.html.
Please note: Revisions to HLC’s Criteria for Accreditation will go into effect on September | , 2020. Institutions will be
evaluated against the revised Criteria for all reviews conducted after that date, including reviews related to previously
assigned monitoring. Institutional reports submitted after September 1, 2020, that reference the Criteria should be written
to the revised version. More information about the revised Criteria, including a crosswalk between the current and revised
versions, is available on HLC’s website at https://www.hlcommission.org/criteria.
