Boone State


If you did not see these Sunday's Tulsa World. Boone State was created by a student and alumni, protesting the eminent domain of the homes of Stillwater residents to build the new athletic village.

On Friday November 4 of 2005, Oklahoma State University announced that they would be taking 410 homes north of the OSU campus in order to make space for an athletic village. These properties are owned by Stillwater residents who are being forced to sell their home for an amount that OSU will decide is the fair market value of their house. Many of these residents have lived in their house for 20+ years and do not want to sell or move. The university has declared that they will deal with these residents by using their position of eminent domain.
