UI Foundation defends early sale of land gifts
The UI Foundation explains a donor instructed proceeds be used quickly and land not sold for 10 years while noting other gifts delayed sales. The 1997 gift involved an 80 acre Franklin County parcel sold for 180000. proceeds support children services and ICU at University Hospitals. The foundation plans to sell remaining parcels to build an endowment and avoid public records scrutiny.
