NOTRE
DAME CANCELS CONTRACT WITH TACO BELL!
(From Notre Dame's daily paper, "The Observer,"
8/25/04): "Acting on allegations brought to light
by a stream of student protests last spring, Notre Dame
terminated its contract with local Taco Bell restaurants
over the summer."
"The University decided not to renew the athletic
department's $50,000 yearly sponsorship agreement because
of concerns raised by the Progressive Student Alliance,
Notre Dame spokesman Matt Storin said Monday. The students,
who argued that the chain's tomato suppliers in Florida
treated migrant workers unfairly, "deserve a lot
of credit for bringing up these issues, doing the research
and carrying on the discussion in a very responsible
and studied way," Storin said." Click
