"The vote comes after the Miami Dade College Board of Trustees agreed to transfer the land to the state in a special board meeting last week with no debate, no public comment or discussion of the fact the land was intended for a presidential library. After the vote, the college's president and vice chairman told the Miami Herald that even they weren't entirely sure what the state wanted to do with the property, located immediately south of the Freedom Tower."
"As the Miami Herald reported, the board's vote had been "shrouded in secrecy" and led to the handover of land in downtown Miami "worth at least $67 million to Donald Trump's nonprofit foundation to build a presidential library - and potentially a hotel - without prior public negotiations.""
Marvin Dunn, a Florida International University professor, filed a legal complaint with the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office to block Miami Dade College's plan to cede downtown property to Donald Trump's nonprofit. The college board approved a transfer in a special meeting without public debate or comment, and Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration approved the move. The property lies immediately south of the Freedom Tower and has been described as worth at least $67 million, with potential uses including a presidential library and a possible hotel. Critics allege secrecy and point to involvement by Eric Trump and adviser Steve Witkoff.
