[1] [4] Manley was also instrumental in the acquisition and renovation of a new campus for the college.

In July 2018, Inside Higher Ed reported that “faculty members have grown increasingly unsettled about Antioch College’s future”after it required “a period of furloughs and pay cuts.”Antioch has “lost a reported $1.7 million for the year ending June 30,2017,a year in which its expenses totaled $17.6 million.” [16] Spring of 2020 saw furloughs for as many as 27 staff members,hour reductions for others,and pay cuts for faculty and other higher-earning personnel. [17] On June 23,2020,the college announced a spending cut of $2.5 million for the fiscal year beginning July 1,2020,down about 20% from the prior fiscal year’s budget. [18] Eight furloughed staff employees were laid off;and,faculty was reduced by six,through voluntary and negotiated departures and one retirement. [18] 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. [19] [20]
In August 2020,Antioch indicated President Manley would be leaving at the end of his 5-year contract,in June 2021. [11] It was subsequently announced that Manley would be leaving early,effective December 1,2020. [2]
