800 Students by Fall 2000
(Released 11/1/96)
The College’s Strategic Planning Task Force has identified an
agenda to guide its work for the next six months. The Task
Force has agreed that enrollment growth is critical to the future
of the College as a distinctive liberal arts institution. To that
end, it has adopted a goal of enrolling 800 degree seeking
students by the fall of 2000.
The College’s Task Force, informed by the recent work of the
Board of Trustees Task Force on the Strategic Financial
Direction of the College and outside consultants, believes that
Antioch has the infrastructure, calendar, and curriculum
necessary to support 800 students while enhancing and
strengthening the core values- and quality of an Antioch
education. Likewise, this growth can be accomplished without
major restructuring or significant revenues beyond tuition
dollars. Each new tuition dollar will be directed to further
improving our ability to deliver a quality liberal arts education.
To achieve the 800 by 2000 goal, the Task Force will focus its
energy on making Antioch College ever more the kind of place
students are attracted to and value. The Task Force recognizes
that it isn’t enough to recruit and enroll more students – we
must see that more of those. students persist through
graduation and join our ranks of outstanding alumni. To
accomplish this goal all community members must contribute to
and participate in the effort.
To that end, the Task Force will initiate a series of meetings to
share with the community the conditions that inform this goal.
We will then invite all members of the community to explore
concrete steps each of us can take to achieve the goal.
Following these meetings, the Task Force will develop an Action
Plan that articulates and commits us all to a course of action for
the future. This Action Plan will be approved by AdCil in January
and presented to the Board of Trustees in February, 1997.

Antioch College
1996-97 Strategic Planning Task Force
Resolutions and Recommendations
Towards a Goal of 800 Students by 2000
(Adopted by the Task Force on January 9, 1997)
1. Create a committee of the Task Force (Strategic Planning Task Force
Committee on Restructuring Cooperative Education) to begin a community-
wide discussion of the future of Co-op and how Co-op may be redefined and/or
reconceptualized to better serve students’ needs and improve the quality of their
educational experience at Antioch. The committee should prepare a report for ADCIL
by the end of April and for the Board of Trustees by early June 1997. The Task Force
requests the President to chair this committee.
The Task Force recommends the following persons as members of this committee:
Shadia Alvarez, David Raynor, Molly Schultz, Andrzej Bloch, Scott Warren, Paula Spier,
Dick Miesler, Elaine Comegys, Leonard Watts, Ann Filemyr, Denise Michell, and Bob
Devine as Chair.
2) Create a standing committee of the Task Force (Strategic Planning
Implementation Oversight Committee) to review and evaluate the
implementation of the action steps and the achievement of goals and objectives. The
Committee shall report periodically to the President, ADCIL and the community.
The Task Force recommends the following persons as members of this committee:
Moily Schultz, Steve Schwerner, Carole Braun, and Hassan Nejad as Chair.
3) The Task Force requests the Dean of Faculty to initiate an analysis of the
distribution of faculty across to curriculum and make recommendations to the
President and ADCIL by the end of March 1997, on how staffing of the academic
program should be aligned and/or realigned with the students’ interests and
enrollment in the academic majors and programs without compromising the quality of
Antioch’s liberal arts education.
4) The Task Force asks the Board of Trustees to consider creating a process for a
capital campaign to substantially increase the College’s endowment.
5) The Task Force asks the Board of Trustees to endorse and participate in a new
physical plant renovations task force and to continue its support for the up-grading
and renovation of the College’s physical plant.
6) The Task Force asks the Board of Trustees to continue supporting the College’s
technological / information system needs.
7) The Task Force asks the Board of Trustees to endorse and support
