The Open Plenary Session began at 1:40pm.
Chair Bob Krinsky opened the meeting and welcomed everyone to Seattle, with a special
welcome to new trustee Larry Stone. Krinsky referenced the agenda item concerning
Board elections, saying that ULC might be excused if there was going to be involved
discussion on the candidates. He then gave the floor to Jack Merselis to provide
background information.
Jack noted that the Chair’s election at this meeting was part of an orderly process begun in
February 2000 at the Board’s retreat. The process continued with the Board’s self-
assessment, which was concluded at the October 2000 Board meeting. As a result of those
activities, the Chair appointed an Ad Hoc Trustee Committee whose recommendations
were considered and approved in June 2001 at the Board meeting held in Keene, New
Anlioctl Colicac AMtocli New England Graduate School Antioch Unhcrsily Xoulhem California A«H”
Hampshire. Among that committee’s key findings was a strong belief in Antiochian
philosophy and values, a strong commitment to make the University work, and a concern
for the survival of the institution-most particularly the College. Money, Strategy and
Leadership were the three critical issues, which the Board committed itself to address.
That commitment led to the Financial Stabilization initiative, chaired by Jim McDonald.
On the issue of strategy, the Future of Antioch Committee was created. Its purpose was to
study elements of the future of the institution, its educational products, and what it takes to
achieve fiscal responsibility. With regard to board leadership, the Trusteeship Committee
devised a list of appropriate criteria for Board chair nominees and conducted a straw poll at
the February 2002 meeting in Seattle for the candidacy of Dan Kaplan. Subsequent to the
February meeting, Jeff Kasch requested the Trusteeship Committee to nominate him as a
candidate for the position.
Having discussed the matter thoroughly at this morning’s Trusteeship Committee meeting,
Jack Merselis then nominated Dan Kaplan and Jeff Kasch for Board Chair and requested
the Chair to open the floor for further nominations.
Chair Krinsky offered the floor to Dan Kaplan and then to Jeff Kasch. Each spoke on the
role of the Board and Board Chair and why they each feel qualified to be Chair.
Prompted by the situation of having two viable candidates for Chair, there followed
discussion on the need for a more formalized Board succession plan. The Trusteeship
Committee will be discussing this idea at its next meeting. It was pointed out by two
trustees that formalizing the Board succession process had been suggested at the February
meeting.
Time was allowed for Trustees to ask the candidates questions and then Chair Krinsky
asked for nominations from the floor. There were none.
At 2:40pm there was a recess.
At 2:55pm the Board went into Executive Session for further discussion during which Dan
and Jeff excused themselves. At the conclusion of the discussion, Dan and Jeff were asked
to return for the vote, which was conducted by secret ballot. The ballots were counted by
David Weaver who announced that Dan Kaplan had been elected.
At 4:40pm there was a recess, followed by a brief Trusteeship Committee meeting of the
whole to discuss nominations for the other officers of the corporation. It was decided by
consensus to postpone until Saturday morning elections for other officers and to give Dan
an opportunity to talk to individual trustees about serving as officers and committee chairs
and to convey his thoughts to the Trusteeship Committee.
At 5:05pm, the meeting resumed in Open Session.
Bill Hooper then asked the Chair to entertain a motion to delete the “Interim” from Jim
Craiglow’s title since Jim is exercising the full authority of the office and will be for
several months. The following resolution was then made and seconded:
RESOLUTION 6.08.02:29 CHooper/Bedford)
WHEREAS, James Craiglow was elected Interim Chancellor of the University by
prior action of the Board taken on February 9,2002;
WHEREAS, the Board now believes there is no reason or benefit in referring to James
Craiglow as “Interim Chancellor” instead of “Chancellor;”
IT IS, THEREFORE, RESOLVED, that the Board’s February 9, 2002 resolution be
amended, nunc pro tunc, to delete the word “Interim” and that henceforth until such
time as he ceases to serve as Chancellor, James Craiglow shall be referred to, for all
purposes, as “Chancellor of the University” or as “President of the Corporation and
Chancellor of the University” as provided in Section 5.3.1 of the Bylaws of the
University.
RESOLVED FURTHER, that the foregoing Resolution does not in any way alter the
Board’s intent to conduct a national search for a Chancellor or to elect the successful
candidate from said search to commence serving as Chancellor on or after September
1, 2003.
Passed unanimously
Mr. Krinsky then requested approval of the minutes.
RESOLUTION 6.08.02:1 fKrinskv/Guernseyj
RESOLVED, that the Board hereby approves the minutes from the February 7-9,
2002 Board of Trustees meeting held in Los Angeles, California, and the minutes
from the special meeting held on May 13,2002, via conference call.
Passed unanimously.
Report of the Chancellor – Jim Craiglow
A little more than three months into his new role as Chancellor, Jim reported he has visited
all campuses and was well received. He admits that after all his years at Antioch he
thought he knew everything about the institution, but he’s made some recent discoveries.
He discovered “a fundamentally positive spirit across the system” and went into some
specifics (Chancellor’s Report on file). Jim is pleased with the status of the NCA work
and also with the outcomes of recent ULC meetings.
At the close of Jim’s remarks, he underscored that Antioch has much to celebrate, that “we
have a significant number of small victories.”
At 5:20pm the session was adjourned.
Academic Affairs, which was scheduled to meet in the late afternoon, was unable to meet
given the shortage of time.
Toni Murdock hosted a reception in the Atrium which began at 5:30pm to introduce Joan
Straumanis to the Seattle community. Attending the reception were Trustees, ULC,
community members, and area alums.
Following the reception, the Board and ULC gathered at the Edgewater Hotel for dinner.
Between courses, Bob Krinsky read aloud the special certificates of appreciation to Paul
Ewald and to Trustees Monique Weston and Betty Fuchs, who resigned prior to the
February meeting, Jessica Lipnack, whose resignation is effective June 30, and Jim
McDonald, Leressa Crockett, and Lillian Lovelace, who are retiring from the Board. Bob
presented Lillian with a leather-bound scrap book.
In addition, Bob Krinsky read aloud the resolution appointing Lillian Trustee Emeritus.
Jim Craiglow then read aloud the certificate of appreciation for Bob Krinsky, who is
retiring effective June 30, after nearly 19 years as Trustee and 9 years as Board Chair. He
presented Bob with a photograph album.

Toni delivered a graphic “power point” presentation, which highlighted campus

Presidents’ reports were followed by a 10-minute recess.
NCA accreditation process status report – Paul Ewald provided an update on the NCA
process – all that’s transpired since the February meeting, the tasks that remain, and what
happens after the visit (see Paul’s “Update on NCA and Accreditation Activity,” on file).
He then took questions.
Joan Straumanis asked Antioch College community manager Brandy Ellis if she had a
sense of the level of understanding among the student body about the accreditation and the
NCA. Brandy responded that there is an awareness of the accreditation and that the NCA
visit is something that can be discussed at the next community meeting.
Bob Krinsky asked Jim Craiglow who would be taking responsibility for the accreditation
process after Paul leaves Antioch the end of July. Jim pointed out that the bulk of the work
will be done by then, but that Jim Hall would take responsibility for much of the process,
adding that it might be necessary to hire a temp to do copying, collating, etc.
Bob Krinsky asked Lois Mann for the update on the capital campaign.
Campaign update by Lois Mann and Frank Pisch (complete report on file). The
presentation was followed by questions and answers.
Finance Report – Glenn Watts presented the budget update via PowerPoint presentation.

RESOLVED, that the Chancellor is hereby authorized to negotiate an employment
agreement with Peter Temes on the terms and conditions he deems necessary and
appropriate to hire Peter Temes as President of the Antioch New England Graduate
School, provided, however, that said agreement shall be conditioned upon the Board’s
election of Peter Temes to serve as a Vice President of the University and President of
the Antioch New England Graduate School at a special meeting to be called for that
purpose.
Passed unanimously.

Saturday, June 8.2002
Trustees present: Robert Krinsky/Chair, Jim Craiglow/University Chancellor and
President of Antioch New England Graduate School, Bruce Bedford, Amy Chappell,
Leressa Crockett, Sandra Deming, Dianne Brou Fraser, Sherwood Guernsey, Reuben
Harris, Bill Hooper, Dan Kaplan, Jeff Kasch, Niels Lyster, Jim McDonald, Peggy
McPhaden, Jack Merselis, Larry Stone, and Art Zucker.
Absent: Everette Freeman, Jessica Lipnack, Lillian Lovelace, Jim Robinson, and Barbara
Winslow
Others present: Laurien Alexandre, University-wide Dean; Barbara Danley, President of
Antioch University McGregor; Paul Ewald, Associate to the Chancellor; Toni Murdock,

Trusteeship Committee met from 8:00 – 9:15am in a closed meeting to resume discussion
of Board officers.
At 9:20am, the Plenary Session resumed in a discussion of Management Transition and
Future of Antioch. (The Management Transition Committee and Future of Antioch
Committee had been scheduled as committee meetings but nearly all trustees attended and
participated.) Bob Krinsky noted that with Jim Craiglow’s election as Chancellor and the
impending hiring of Peter Temes, the work of the Management Transition team may be at
a point where the committee could be abolished so that the Chancellor could lead the
future searches for campus presidents. After brief discussion, it was agreed by consensus
that the Management Transition Committee was no longer needed and Dan Kaplan was
asked not to appoint trustees to this committee when committee assignments for the new
year are made.
A discussion concerning the search for the Chancellor followed. Jim Craiglow reported
that the ULC felt it should have input into the role and qualifications of the new chancellor
before the search commenced. He indicated the ULC will discuss this at the ULC retreat
in July and will prepare and distribute to the Board by August 1, 2002, a suggested
approach so that the Chancellor Search Committee can begin its work in the Fall. It was
pointed out that the Board had authorized a search and approved the committee’s charge at
the Keene, New Hampshire, Board meeting in June 2001. Dan Kaplan was asked to
appoint that committee after receiving the ULC’s suggestions so that it can proceed with
its work
Future of Antioch. Bob Krinsky asked Bruce Bedford to lead this discussion. For
discussion’s sake, Jim Craiglow distributed a list of recommendations from ULC for the
Future of Antioch and asked for feedback from the Trustees within the following two
weeks (an e-mail to the Trustees was promised as a follow-up item to the Board meeting
with the list as an attachment, which was to prompt their responses).
Jack Merselis reviewed the reasons why the Future of Antioch Committee was created at
last June’s meeting. The goals of the committee had to do with fiscal responsibility and
long-term sustainability, and using resources wisely to attain these goals. There was
agreement that the process was best directed by the Chancellor, in consultation with the
ULC, but that the Board of Trustees needed to maintain involvement. Further discussion
will be needed at the October 2002 meeting. (There was a suggestion that the October
Board meeting be extended, adding Wednesday afternoon and going later into Saturday.
Barbara Danley also suggested using First Class, the university’s on-line e-mail and
networking system, for Board communication. Each Trustee would be given access to the
system where each committee of the board would have a folder and committee members
would have access to those folders.)
15-minute recess.
After the break, the Board resumed in open session and the Chair asked to approve
Resolution 2:

No action items. At October’s meeting, the issue of hedge funds will be addressed.
Physical Facilities Committee Report – Bill Hooper (Minutes attached.)
Bill reviewed the history of the Grinnell Mill. The Grinnell Mill is on the historic register
but that it is a liability for the College. A local resident expressed an interest in
restoring/preserving it at no cost to the University and, although he preferred to purchase
it, Bill preferred a lease arrangement as being in the best interest of Antioch. During the

to others prior to agreements being made. The following resolution was moved and
seconded:

said property.

execute said lease on behalf of Antioch University.
Approved with one no vote.
Bill reviewed the status of the College’s “Golf Course” property. The Antioch School has
expressed an interest in more land for expansion. The possibilities for its use will be
strictly educational. Building classrooms, for example, would be permissible under current
caveats.

Krinsky asked Joan Straumanis to present the revised Sexual Offense Prevention Policy
(copy on file).
RESOLUTION 6.8.02:16 16 (Hooper/Guernsey’)
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has previously approved the Antioch College
Sexual Offense Prevention Policy; and
WHEREAS, said policy has recently undergone an extensive campus review process
and revision culminating in its approval by ADCIL on April 23,2002; and
14
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees has reviewed the revised policy and is satisfied
that the revised policy is appropriate for implementation by and for the Antioch
College Community.
BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that upon the recommendation of the President of
Antioch College, the Board hereby approves the revised policy and delegates to the
President of Antioch College the authority to implement the revised policy.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, that upon implementation of the revised policy on the
Antioch College campus, the current version of the campus policy authorized pursuant
to Board Resolution 6.8.96:24 is hereby superceded.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the President of Antioch College is further
delegated the authority to make future revisions of said policy as she or her successor
may deem necessary, without further review or approval by the Board of Trustees.
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees expresses its sincere
appreciation to the Antioch College community for its commitment to the continued
evolution of a fair and workable policy on campus sexual behavior. The Board
believes that the revised policy, which was developed through the College’s
established governance processes, constructively addresses a major social issue on

Sherwood Guernsey expressed concern regarding the level of funding for the College
Development Office during the capital campaign. After discussion the following
resolution was offered and seconded:
RESOLUTION 6.08.02:32 (S. Guernsev/J. Merselis)
RESOLVED, that the Chancellor, Vice Chancellor and CFO, and the Vice Chancellor
for Development and External Relations prepare and submit to the Board for review
and approval at the October 2002 Board meeting a staffing plan and budget for the
College Development Office, said plan and budget to include all personnel and other
expenses needed to run a successful capital campaign.
Unanimously approved.
Bob Krinsky asked for the Trustees’ indulgence while he offered some remarks in closing
his office as Chair of the Board. He read from his April 27, 2002, College commencement
remarks in which he expressed his strong ties and commitment to Antioch. It is his love of
20
Antioch and the education he received here that led to serving as chair for nine years. He
said that the same love is evident in classmate Joan Straumanis’ choice to serve Antioch
College as president.
Bob offered some advice to help the Board function better in the future, urging Trustees to
bring their dissatisfactions directly to the Board Chair so they can be remedied. He
acknowledged Leo Drey for his extraordinary generosity in saving the College and Al
Guskin for all he had learned from him. Bob acknowledged that working with Trustees
has been one of his greatest satisfactions, and that in his capacity as co-chair of the
Campaign Steering Committee he looks forward to their ideas for engaging the Board in
the capital campaign. “I’ve had a wonderful time and I love this place,” he said, and then
promised (in reference to the campaign): “You’ll be hearing from me!”
The Trustees and ULC stood and applauded.
Joan Straumanis asked the two Antioch graduates (Community Managers) to stand and
introduce themselves to the Trustees and ULC. Brandy and Tristan did so, then thanked
the Board. The Board in turn thanked them for their presence and commitment to Antioch.
Niels suggested that the number of subjects on the Board of Trustees meeting agenda be
limited in the future.
Bob asked if an Executive Session were necessary and the consensus was that none was
necessary. The Board thanked Toni Murdock, her assistants Wendy Dahl and Sharon
Sernius, and Leslie Johnson for the meeting hospitality and arrangements. There being no
further business, the meeting adjourned at 12:20 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
