About 50 students packed the Hale Black Cultural Center meeting room yesterday to voice their concerns about Campus Partners’ plan to redesign High Street.Many students attending the forum think that there isn’t any place on High Street where minorities can go and feel welcome.”There’s not a place for me on High Street,” said Christina Saxon, a senior majoring in family and child studies. “I only go there to buy books.”Other concerns included the lack of restaurants and entertainment options for minority students.Some questioned whether or not Campus Partners was actively working to recruit minority businesses to the area.Students were also concerned about Campus Partners’ plans to bring more national retailers to High Street when most students don’t have a lot of money to spend.Many attendees worried that higher rents, a result of increased property values, would force working students out of the area.Steve Sterrett, spokesman for Campus Partners, told the group that students are the organization’s top priority in the plan to revamp High Street. He encouraged them to get involved with Campus Partners’ subcommittees.”It isn’t that High Street is a failing market,” he told the mixed crowd, “but it’s not living up to its potential.”During the presentation members of the Anti-Racist Action group passed out fliers encouraging people to “Stop the War on the Poor and Show Campus Partners the DOOR.” The fliers were designed by the Committee for a Better Campus Through Mutual Respect ‹ Not Corporate Interests. Members of the action group said they were concerned that Campus Partners would make the University District look like a “yuppie, lily-white campus.” The goal of the project isn’t to price existing retailers out of the market, said Christine Cousineau, of the urban design firm hired by Campus Partners. But some businesses have taken advantage of OSU’s captive market, she said. At the end of the meeting, students expressed concerns that the Campus Partners Student Advisory Board is not considering the views of all OSU students, especially minorities.No members of the student advisory board attended the forum.Campus Partners was incorporated in 1995 by OSU and is a non-profit redevelopment corporation.
