The University of Massachusetts board of trustees and members overseeing the system's building authority are scheduled to vote Thursday morning on a winning bid to develop the 20-acre Bayside Expo Center site. By some estimates, that land could host up to 2.5 million square feet of new mixed-use development and sell for more than $200 million.
But professors, who say the lease or sale of Bayside could do "long-term harm to the future of UMass Boston," could throw a wrench into the process.
