CCG Resources and Documentation
This page provides access to important documents and resources that show the governance structure of the Coalition for the Common Good. We encourage visitors to read the original founding documentation including the By-Laws that govern the CCG and its Antioch University division, the Strategic Operating Agreement that lays out the legal underpinnings of how the Coalition was formed and operates, and the Amended and Restated Article of Incorporation from when Antioch became the Coalition for the Common Good. Additionally, please review the diagram illustrating the legal structure of the CCG, along with a Governance organizational chart that captures the leadership reporting relationships.
Also included is the CCG’s legal filing responding to the Antioch Advisory Boards request for an injunction and other supporting documents. This page will be updated as new information is available.
CCG Corporate Structure
When the Coalition for the Common Good was founded in 2023, neither Antioch University nor Otterbein University was looking for a merger or acquisition. The CCG represented something new.
The Antioch University Board of Governors, the fiduciary Board for the university at the time, resigned, becoming an advisory Board, while the CCG Board became Antioch’s fiduciary Board. The new CCG Board was comprised of four Antioch appointed Directors, four Otterbein appointed Directors and one independent Director who was selected by the eight appointed Directors. Legally, Antioch became the CCG; they are one and the same corporation. The CCG also selected reserve powers over Otterbein, although Otterbein remains a separate corporation with its own fiduciary Board. The structure legally binds the universities together, but allows them to retain their historic branding, marketing and programs.
As you can see in the diagram below, the Antioch division exists wholly within the CCG; they are one and the same. Otterbein, a separate corporation, exists outside the CCG with some limited reserve powers.
