University Oaks is a subdivision in southeast Houston with approximately 240 homes located adjacent to the University of Houston. It is bounded by Wheeler Avenue to the north, South MacGregor Way to the south, Calhoun Road to the east, and Cullen Boulevard to the west.〔"(University Oaks )." ''Harris County''. Retrieved on April 5, 2009.〕 ==History== University Oaks was first platted in 1939 and the land that the subdivision occupies was formerly owned by Ben Taub.〔(Home page )." ''University Oak Civic Club''. Retrieved on April 5, 2009.〕 The original deed included a racial covenant that restricted homeowners from selling or leasing their houses to any groups other than "the Caucasian race." It was last renewed in 1980. In 1984 the homeowners association had over 150 members. During that year the United States Department of Justice sued the subdivision to force it to remove the racial covenant, which was deemed illegal by the 1968 Fair Housing Act. The defendants were John Baust, the civil club president, and Anita Rodeheaver, the Harris County Clerk. In the lawsuit papers, the subdivision argued that deleting the racial covenant would jeopardize the other provisions from the original deed.〔"(Justice Dept. sues to bar racial covenants in deeds )." ''Los Angeles Times'' at ''The Telegraph-Herald''. December 10, 1984. Retrieved on October 18, 2011.〕 In 2006, the University of Houston announced increased development plans—including one to blend low-rise residence halls with the University Oaks subdivision. Doug Erwing, who was at the time the president of the University Oaks Civic Club, announced support for plans to increase retail offerings and added that he would prefer redevelopment that fit with the neighborhood such as lower-rise dormitories as opposed to high rise dormitories.〔Tresaugue, Matthew.
