The October 21, 2026, ruling by the Greene County Court of Common Pleas is a significant development in the litigation concerning Antioch University and the Coalition for the Common Good (CCG). The court found that Antioch, through its lead plaintiff, has a substantial likelihood of success on the merits at trial. While the case is ongoing, this injunction protects the enforceability of Antioch’s core governance protections.
The court’s decision constitutes a significant advancement in safeguarding Antioch University’s role in decisions related to its leadership, governance, and institutional future.
The court determined that the CCG lacked authority to abolish the Antioch University Board of Governors or to change the bylaws without the required approval of the Antioch Standing Committee. The ruling reinforces the shared governance structure established through the affiliation and Antioch’s role in decisions about its institutional future.
