In a recent act of benevolence, Ohio University is considering leasing 10 acres of prime riverfront property to a Columbus developer for the construction of a retirement community. In exchange for this real estate, the university would receive an insane amount of money -$1, to be exact. OU claims that the donation of this land is for the common good of the area, but it is hard to believe that OU would agree to such an altruistic deal. This plan does not serve the best interests of the university, the students or the city. The university's heart might be in the right place, but it is irresponsible for any cash-strapped institution to give away its assets, especially when it gives essentially free land to National Church Residences and non-profit organizations worth about $600 million. The $1 yearly rent for this land is a symbol of the university's generosity, but being generous isn't the same as being just plain foolish with your money. Even if OU leased the land for 10 percent of its value, it would be a steal for the church, and OU could have a little pocket change just in case something comes up.
