A dozen students, faculty and alumni are trying to fight Boise State University's plan to grant the naming rights of the campus Pavilion to a Taco Bell franchisee. The group argues that the Unversity's unilateral decision to grant the franchisee naming rights is not financially beneficial to the University because it accepts in-kind contributions rather than cash for the rights and it also ignores Taco Bell's conduct in failing to sufficiently pay migrant workers for tomato-picking. This is only the latest in a number of stories about university backlash to the employment practices of Taco Bell. See previous blog entries.
