Purdue's University Senate Leadership will hold a vote in October regarding the fate of a proposed Chick-fil-A, expected to open on campus in 2020.
This summer, Purdue University announced plans to open a new residence hall in 2020, which would include a Chick-fil-A, after more than 3,000 students signed a petition to bring the franchise to campus. However, other students, as well as staff of the university, are less than thrilled by the agreement.
“It’s bigger than that,” Audrey Ruple, chair of the University Senate’s Equity and Diversity Committee, told the Journal & Courier. “We intentionally didn’t want this to be about one business, just ‘The Chick-fil-A’ resolution.” Boileau questioned what message the university was sending LGBTQ students and faculty by permitting Chick-fil-A to operate on campus.
Wynkoop added that the fast-food restaurant had already been on campus for a year. In 2018, Chick-fil-A opened a pop-up style location three days a week in a building on campus.
