Administration: Remove Chick-fil-A from the campus food court

At IUPUI we are told that we strive to create an accepting and inclusive community for each and every student. We are also encouraged to explore the benefits of corporate philanthropy as a tool for 'changing the world'. But what of our relationship with an on-campus franchise of Chick-fil-A?

Chick-fil-A has donated millions of dollars to organizations that intentionally harm the LGBT community*.  They have publicly acknowledged their disapproval of same-sex relationships and denied LGBT groups use of their conference facilities (which are readily available to anti-gay groups, such as 'Focus on the Family'**).

As students, we wish to discuss removing Chick-Fil-A  from our campus in an effort to create a more welcoming environment for LGBT students, faculty, staff and any other members of society who may suffer as a result of the irresponsible corporate donations that Chick-Fil-A has made and defends to this day. 

Please join us in support of LGBT individuals on campus, and everywhere and continue the conversation in favor of equality for ALL people, regardless of who they love.
