The resurrection of Antioch College: A small victory for humanity

Me? I’m simply disappointed to see the complaint with the AG’s office about the university dropped.

Another important thing to note in the midst of all the hoopla over independence is the size of the final agreement: a “750-page closing document.”

I’ll be interested in finding out whether or not all those dotted “i”s and crossed “t”s actually do contain any “hypothetical ‘devils’” or not.

Yup, what Matt said. Special Fellow indeed! (Yes, it’s taken me almost a week to reply, it’s been one of THOSE weeks.)

Others have said it's a done deal already and the Friday event is just ceremony, and I hope that's true but I keep worrying there's some t that forgot to be crossed and there will be more delays etc. And I totally agree with you, until we can all see the 'Final Agreement' I'm gonna worry and fret about those hypothetical 'devils'. I too want to be wrong, cause I really want to get on board but after what happened to Nonstop I'm pretty disheartened and most, if not all, of my optimism is gone right now. I'm so ready for this part of this to be over. But hang in there, it can't get any worse, right? :) {knock on wood} -Matt aka Special Fellow :) So many hopes and dreams, even some friendships have been lost over the past 2+ years of this struggle, I can’t help but be pessimistic right now.
