Sixteen community members appointed to newly formed board of trustees
CULVER CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
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 board of 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
