The controversy over the Carroll Boulevard prop- erty began last fall when JCU sought a special use permit from the City in order to change it from a two- family home into administrative offices for the ROTC and military science program. It is beneficial for both JCU and University Heights to have come to a resolution to use this house for ad- ministrative offices. The fact that the controversy has been resolved reflects a positive relationship between the University and the City. JCU has a significant role in employment and land ownership in University Heights. University Heights Mayor Susan Infeld said, “John Carroll is the largest employer and landholder in the city. It’s not good and doesn’t promote the image of University Heights as friendly [when the City and JCU Cartoon by David Hickey “ are engaged in litigation]. I’m happy it’s resolved and settled.
