Northeastern

Chuck Turner, a city councilor who represents the district in which Northeastern is located, has harsh words to describe the growth of Northeastern.
Northeastern is a predator. There's a history of Northeastern disrespecting the neighborhoods around it, and its abuse of the community has become more flagrant in past years. It is a typical example of an institution that has a lot of lip service, but focuses on what it's doing and what it wants regardless of the community ... How does [Northeastern] explain taking housing from mothers and children?
The councilor is was a former employee and professor at Northeastern who is known for being an advocate of workers' rights, low-income families, prisoners, women and people of color.
