Posted on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
CULVER CITY, CA – May 12, 2009 – Antioch University Los Angeles today announced the appointment of their first board of trustees. Malcolm McNeil, J.D., a partner with Fox Rothschild and an alumnus of Antioch University Los Angeles, was named chairperson, and Ann Van Dormolen, President & CEO of Philanthropic Administration, Inc., was named as vice-chair.
Antioch University is a national, multi-campus system incorporated as a single 501c3 in the state of Ohio, where its original campus, Antioch College, was founded in 1852. Antioch University Los Angeles, located in Culver City, has been proud to serve the diverse communities of Southern California for over 37 years. With innovative undergraduate and graduate programs in psychology, business leadership, liberal studies, education and creative writing, AULA offers a rich learning environment that is designed for adult students who are ready to commit to a dynamic and individualized scholastic experience.
Antioch University has historically been governed by a single, central University Board, which maintains legal and fiduciary responsibility for the entire university system. In fall of 2008, this board authorized a dramatic restructuring of the governance of the university, directing for the first time that each campus establish its own Board of Trustees. According to a common set of bylaws established and approved by the university board, campus boards of trustees will have significant delegated authority and responsibility for the oversight of their particular campus.
The Governance and Executive committees of the Antioch University Board of Governors approved all trustee nominations and authorized the AULA Board of Trustees to begin their work. In addition to the chair and vice-chair, other members include Warren Bennis, Ph.D. (Emeritus), Distinguished Professor of Business Administration at the USC Marshall School of Business, Joe Benites, President & CEO of The Benites Group; William Brockhaus, DBA, Chairman & CEO of The Brockhaus Group; James A.
