Xavier University Wants An Eminent Domain Land Grab

If you are a Xavier University Alumni, you should be embarrassed by your University. They are putting out to the public that they will try to use eminent domain to take homes from people that do not want to sell to them. How about that for a good citizen award.
Of course they are couching the language in terms of last resort, but to me this screams something else. What I hear is, “Small homeowner, sell us your land at our price as we are much better and more important than you are. If you do not, we will get the local government to take it for us.”
This reminds me of the hoodlum who explains to his victim, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Xavier University should be ashamed of itself.
Officials at Xavier University say they’re exploring whether the Cincinnati school could seize some private homes to build a new business college.
But a university vice president says Xavier would only consider taking the properties through eminent domain as a last resort.
For years, Xavier has been quietly buying up property near its campus, and last year it announced plans for the business school. It wants to break ground next year but is still negotiating with some neighboring homeowners. via FOX19 Cincinnati News and Weather WXIX

Comment by Ted on 2 October 2007:
Xavier University has been improving the surrounding communities for a long time now. Sure it may be unfortunate for a few people, but XU’s development plans are going to bring many more students, increase surrounding property values and bring more money and employment opportunities for all residents near the University.
