The Waltham City Council voted against seizing Stigmatine Fathers and Brothers’ 46-acre property by eminent domain on May 15, according to a Waltham Patch article from the same date. The majority vote was 12-3 against acquisition of the Catholic congregation’s property, favoring the position of Stigmatine trustees. If seized, the property could have been used as the site of a new Waltham high school. While the property has piqued council interest for a few years already, the Waltham Patch reported that eminent domain has been in serious discussion since February, when Mayor Jeannette McCarthy requested that the council consider use of the land in public interest. This decision followed a Waltham School Committee December statement that the property would be an ideal site for a new high school. The property trustees, however, were never interested in selling and refused to meet the council’s repeated requests for negotiations, reported the Waltham Patch. Supporters of eminent domain for the property fear that it will, if not claimed for public use, become commercialized, reported the Waltham Patch. However, the report added that a Stigmatine spokesperson stated that the property will not be commercialized to private enterprises or sold to residential developers. Owned by the Stigmatine Congregation in Rome, the property is valued at $22.7 million by the council, and McCarthy suggested the council pay compensation of $15 million for the property. The suggested offer would claim all of the land except for two buildings belonging to retired clergy, according to the Waltham Patch. A final vote before the full city council will occur on May 22.

David Weil, an expert in labor market policy, will become the next dean of the Heller School for Social Policy and Management, the University announced in a Thursday press release. Weil, a faculty member at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, will join Brandeis on Aug. 14. After completing his undergraduate studies at Cornell University, Weil earned his master’s degree in public policy at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, where he co-founded and co-directed the Transparency Policy Project, according to the press release. The project “seeks to understand and improve disclosure of factual information that protects the public,” such as nutritional labels and car safety ratings, according to the Transparency Policy Project website. Weil, who authored more than 100 articles and five books, also earned a Ph.D. in public policy at Harvard. As a 2014 appointee at the U.S. Department of Labor under Former President Barack Obama, Weil worked as an administrator for the Wage and Hour Division until January 2017, according to the Brandeis press release. “I believe that inequality is the central issue of our time,” Weil said, as quoted in the press release, “and addressing it is at the core of Heller’s mission.” Weil added that his focus will be on how inequality is addressed in the workplace, in healthcare, in education and in other areas of society, such as interpersonal relationships. Weil will be replacing Marty Krauss, Ph.D. ’81, who served as the interim dean at Heller since 2014. Krauss will remain at the school as professor emerita.
