Career
From 1981 to 2003,Manley held a variety of administrative posts at Pitzer College and the Claremont Colleges. He was instrumental in developing Pitzer's study abroad program,including sites in China,Costa Rica,Ecuador,Italy,Japan,Nepal,Turkey,Venezuela,Wales,and South Africa. [1]
Manley served as President of the Pacific Northwest College of Art from July 2003 to late-2015. [1] [3] Among his milestones at PNCA was a successful cultivation of the largest gift to an arts organization in Oregon's history. [1] [4] Manley was also instrumental in the acquisition and renovation of a new campus for the college. [5] [6] [7] However,the expansion led to chronic financial difficulties,leading to PNCA's acquisition by Willamette University in 2020. [8] [9]
A specialist on Japan,Manley also served as a scholar-in-residence at a women's college outside of Osaka and later helped to write the curriculum for an American-style liberal arts college—the first of its kind to be accredited by the Japanese Ministry of Education. [1] [10] He has also developed a number of cross-cultural and language learning innovations,including a portfolio journal system known as the “Fieldbook.” [1]
Manley was hired as the new President of Antioch College in 2015,succeeding Mark Roosevelt in March 2016 as the second President of the reopened institution. [11] [12] [13] [14] 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.” [15] 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. [16] 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. [17] Eight furloughed staff employees were laid off;and,faculty was reduced by six,through voluntary and negotiated departures and one retirement. [17] 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. [18] [19]
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] Jane Fernandes succeeded Manley in August 2021. [20]
