The college bought the land in December. Many tenants refused to leave, saying they should be compensated for their mobile homes. A Garden City ordinance prevented some of the older mobile homes from being moved.

The college sued the seven remaining tenants in May. In June, only four tenants showed up for a court hearing and were told they had until July 3 to vacate. One tenant has not yet been located to be served.

The the college intends to move all the empty mobile homes off the land when the legal process is finished.
