U pulls tenancy from North Minneapolis center

Leave a commentPrint this pageReprint rights
By Devin Henry, Minnesota Daily
October 09, 2008
Citing financial reasons, the University will not be a tenant in the North Minneapolis Child and Family Service Center as previously planned, Robert Jones, University Vice President for System Academic Administration, said in a statement .

"It is simply not fiscally possible for the University to commit to a major capital project of this magnitude at this time," he said.

Despite the plan to leave the center, Jones said the University would continue its efforts in the community, specifically through the Urban Research Outreach/Engagement Center on Plymouth Ave.

That $4.4 million center will be open in early 2009 and will include programs for the area, according to the statement.

By Dwight Hobbes, TC Daily Planet

It is tricky business reviewing a work in progress, putting the writer in a barely tenable position. How can you be fair to the playwright, casting comment on a script that's still in development? Critique the weaknesses and you're a villain for kicking the play's legs out from under it before it's had a chance to actually stand on them. Praise the strengths and you're a cheerleader clapping the author on the back before the job's finished being done.MORE »
