Isn't it time for Western Michigan University to stop buying up every piece of junk real estate in Kalamazoo? Why is the university willing to buy parcels of real estate, take them off of the tax rolls and assert that they have no plans for the property? If they have too much money, maybe the students could use it. The latest junk real estate project will cost $2.75 million. Use the money to give a nice graduation present to the 2,700 graduates. They can use the help, especially for the debt they've incurred to pay for rising tuition.
