McGregor's VOICE

Charlotte Dungan is the managing editor of Antioch University McGregor’s student newspaper, The McGregor Voice. Since Ms. Dungan began attending McGregor, nearly 40% of the core faculty have been laid off. Ms. Dungan stated that “faculty could be dumped on a whim and they have been. The majority of the faculty that have been laid off were opposed to the move of McGregor to Campus West. The remaining faculty have been afraid to speak out.”

The newspaper was started in the fall of 2006 as an “unofficial student publication.” The first issue of the McGregor Voice reported that 60% of faculty and students opposed the move of McGregor to Campus West.

Antioch University McGregor decided to fund and recognize the McGregor Voice as its official student publication in the winter of 2007. Brooke Bryan is currently the editor of the publication. The McGregor Voice will add an on-line component to its print version at this web site (currently under construction).

Excerpts:

McGregor Relocation Survey Results from Spring 2006 – Charlotte Dungan
“The most astonishing statistic was that 87% of students surveyed did not find out about the relocation until they were already attending. Furthermore, only 10% of students felt that they had an opportunity to be involved with the process, and 59% of faculty and 65% of students disapprove of the move.”

And as much as we wish the world saw Antioch in the way we know it is, this is a conservative region. I had people from large companies saying that we would never send a student to your place, you’ve got people with purple hair, they’re hippies, and all that kind of stuff.
