Fordham Univ Rejects Proposal To Open Chick-fil-A After LGBTQ Snowflakes Complain
Scared of a chicken sandwich. How pitiful is that.....
Quote:The Catholic institution Fordham University has rejected a proposal to open Chick-fil-A on campus after students at the New York City-based college voiced concerns that the restaurant chain is anti-gay.
The concerns were voiced by the United Student Government, the Commuter Students Association, the Residence Hall Association and the Rainbow Alliance, according to the Fordham Observer.
None of these groups responded to email or Facebook messages from The College Fix.
In comments to the Observer, Rainbow Alliance co-president Roberta Munoz said rejecting the proposal does not mean the university is fully tolerant of the LGBTQ community.
“This is something that I don’t want to congratulate Fordham for, like ‘Oh my god, I’m so glad that you can see this. You’re such a good person,’” she said. “I don’t want to pat them on the back.

My issue is that they aren't open on Sunday. That irritated me immensely at my grad school. There wasn't as much choice on Sunday on campus because Chick-Fil-A wasn't open.
People don't have kitchens on campus and they need to eat on Sunday.

They're not open Sunday so you want it closed all week. Got it.
If you can't have it, no one can.

No, the purpose of a campus and an airport restaurant is to serve a CAPTiVE audience. And people eat every day. If the school has kids there and the airport is open....then the services should be too.

I don't believe they are scared of a chicken sandwich, they just don't like the beliefs of the owners. So they let their voice be heard. Just like when you posted about the restaurant people singing **** the Police.

A quick search....for Fordham Campus dinning
POD Express closed on Saturday & Sunday
Salt and Sesame closed on Saturday & Sunday
Faculty Dining Room closed on Saturday & Sunday
Starbucks is not open on Sunday till 5pm (do people not drink coffee before then?)
Jamba Juice and Chopsticks does not open till 5pm on Sunday
Marketplace is closed on Saturday & Sunday May 20th /21st
Wednesday, May 17 - Friday, May 19 most places to eat on campus are closed
So Sunday is the only day that bothers you and it only a problem if it's Chick-fil-A ?
