"Should a public university be allowed to seize private property from people who don’t want to sell?That’s what Northeastern Illinois University is trying to do.
The school is located in a north side Chicago neighborhood with an eclectic offering of restaurants and mom-and-pop stores. Many of the small businesses in the area have been in the owners’ families for generations – but that’s not what university officials want on their campus. The university is suing to bulldoze those private businesses and turn over the property to a private developer instead."
