if coca-cola has commited human rights violations, let the courts determine that. it's not fair to convict them on the front page of the paper. your paper has yet to report even a statement from the company regarding these accusations, which continue to appear on your pages. besides, what are we going to do, switch to pepsi? then SAI or some other activist group will probably accuse them of the same things. When negotiatings begin for a new beverage contract, those involved should do what's best for the university. the only thing that can come from not including Coke in renegotiations is to give the rest of the companies less need to be competitive. and that can only hurt us, the students.
