Antioch

Antioch University's board has suffered an adverse court ruling in its legal dispute with a coalition that the university itself helped establish. The case centers on governance and control of the organization, and the court's decision weakens the board's position going forward. Few further details about the ruling or the coalition's identity were available, and it remains to be seen whether the board will appeal or seek a settlement.

Two mountain marmots were spotted separately in San Francisco and Antioch in September, far from their usual alpine habitat, after apparently hitching rides on vehicles. The unusual appearances in urban Bay Area locations puzzled wildlife officials and residents, raising questions about how the animals traveled and whether more stowaway marmots could show up in the region.
