In early 2019, the college divested itself of WYSO for about $3.5 million. For the fall class of 2019, new enrollments declined to 27 students, with the total student body being under 100 students. The COVID-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020 led to furloughs for as many as 27 staff members, hour reductions for others, and pay cuts for faculty and other higher-earning personnel. On June 23, 2020, the college announced a spending cut of $2.5 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1, down about 20% from the prior fiscal year’s budget. Eight furloughed staff employees were laid off; and, faculty was reduced by six, through voluntary and negotiated departures and one retirement. Antioch also arranged the sale of the Glen Helen Nature Preserve to the Glen Helen Association, since the college could not afford to continue support of that facility. By October 2020, Antioch had suspended publication of The Antioch Review for financial reasons.
