Dr. Thomas "Tom" Manley is an academic administrator and the current President of Antioch College.

Manley is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He received a bachelor of science in East Asian history and education from Towson University, and a master's degree in Asian studies and a doctorate in education from Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California.

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.

Manley served as President of Pacific Northwest College of Art from July 2003 to late 2015. Among his milestones at PNCA are a successful brick-and-mortar expansion and cultivation of the largest gift to an arts organization in Oregon’s history. Manley was instrumental in the acquisition and renovation of a new campus for the college.

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. He has also developed a number of cross-cultural and language learning innovations, including a portfolio journal system known as the “Fieldbook.”

Manley was hired as the new President of Antioch College in 2015, succeeding Mark Roosevelt as the second President of the reopened institution.
