Can a public university use eminent domain to take a GLO house in a choice location, so they can build a dorm/auditorium/etc?

Can a private univ. get the local mayor to eminent domain a GLO house on the edge of campus, promising to build a new basketball arena/convo ctr. which will suck tourist/alumni dollars into the town?
These are interesting and extremly valid questions in light of this recent supreme court decision.

I beleive it is only a matter of time before a university decides to grab a piece of property out from under a GLO. Expect to see this ruling used more and more to "steal" private property.

As I recall, we fought a war about 200 years ago to throw off the yoke of tyranny from a government not ruled by the people.
