About the Chancellor
William R. Groves, JD, is the 22nd Chancellor of Antioch University.
He has served as Chancellor since 2016 and has focused on three priorities:

Chancellor Communications
“The Coalition for the Common Good is the first system to be created in which the affiliate institutions are bound by a common mission of educating for social justice and a commitment to building and preserving democracy. This mission-driven system could not come at a more important inflection point in our nation’s history. Our pluralistic American democracy requires that educational institutions prepare students to be effective and engaged citizens.”
