I believe so. It’s been a while. The Zax sauce is bomb.com though.
Oh, I don't know. How many schools give students input of any kind on vendors allowed on campus? Was any promise made that the highest vote getter would be selected?

TRANSPARENCY.
OPENNESS.
Yeah, that lasted about three seconds and then Hot Rod was given some perspective.
Gonna guess not. Any number of unrelated things could have prevented the selected vendor from not opening. Again, not particularly well-handled by Rider's admin.
A lot more info, from many sides of the story, in this article from the Rider student newspaper:

Why do so many articles include twitter comments from random people? Report the facts of the situation, and leave the opinions to the reader to form.

This caught my attention. I hadn't heard of them. Website looks good and you gave quite an endorsement. Turns out there's one 15 minutes from Philly in the NJ suburbs. Can't wait to try.
LOL...our inclusion is very selective.FWIW:
VERY misleading headline in that article (Does that surprise anyone?
"Dean steps down from position due to religious beliefs"
She stepped down because Rider decided that only certain select demographics qualify for "Inclusion" …..
(People may want to read that again, slowly.
Is it possible for an organization to be any more hypocritical? LOL).
And she said, enough is enough.
There is enough PC-Babble quoted in that article, coming from the likes of Charley Furey (and others), to choke an elephant.
IIRC , the owner of Chick Filet was quoted in an interview for a magazine as saying, due to his religious convictions he is not supportive of gay marriage. However, he is happy to work with, serve, and employ gays.Honestly, what is this school thinking? Sure, Chick-fil-A has their values and are closed Sundays (dammit!) but it's the best chicken sandwich on earth. Wake up kids!
And no issue with Ms. Newman's decision to bail - she's dedicated, I'll give her that.
Cynthia Newman, dean of the College of Business Administration at Rider University in New Jersey, has decided to leave her post over the stupidest of allegedly delicious reasons.
Citing her values as a “very committed Christian,” Newman has decided to resign as dean over the school’s refusal to allow Chick-fil-A on campus.
According to the Washington Times, Rider administrators sent students a survey asking which restaurant they would most like to see on campus. Though Chick-fil-A won handily, the school decided against the Atlanta-based chain due to its history of homophobic sentiment.
Rider, who said Chick-fil-A’s values had yet to align with their own, explained their decision to students in an email this past November.
Kristine Brown, Rider’s associate vice president of marketing and communications, thanked Newman for her contributions.
“While we respect Dr. Newman’s personal decision,,” Brown said Tuesday according to NJ.com, “we maintain that the decision about choosing an on-campus restaurant franchise was in no way a judgment on religious values. Rather, our intention was to foster a sense of respect and belonging of all members of the campus community, including those who identify as LGBTQ+.”
I’m not supportive of any form of marriage. However I support both sexes in their bad choices.

Yep...I don't agree with this stance...but this issue is a difference between religious and legal recognition of "marriage". These are his personal views and not the views of CFA. I mean, its like not using amazon because the CEO cheats on his wife with his friend's wife and sends her pics of his junk. That point of view would end up in a lack of large companies with which you can do business.
Here is what he said. from July 2 2012, Biblical Recorder
"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. ... We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized. "We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."

Fake outrage, just like that toward Joe Paterno. The radio show I listened to was interesting. There were A LOT of LGBT callers saying they love CFA, eat there all the time and had no plans to change that.
For those of you that live in the Charlotte, NC area, I'm pretty sure that PDQ is a spinoff of Tenders which is located in Cornelius, which was started by the guys who own 131 Main.
Tenders is pretty awesome. They have a fried Turkey sandwich that is great. If I'm not mistaken, some bigshots from Outback Steakhouse bought the idea from Tenders and then brought it down to Florida to re-brand as PDQ.

I was confused several times reading the posts.....I thought it was my age & pickled brain. That's a load off of my .....the , a , soft mass in my skull.
Don’t be so easy on yourself, it probably was your age and pickled brain. I have the same problem. Now go take a nap.
He makes sure he takes an Aspirin everyday, cause he never knows when a stroke is going to happen.
My view is if they want it so bad let them have it. Pain should be an equal opportunity thing.
Not sure what is so puzzling. Newman held a leadership position at Rider. Rider put out a statement that Chic-Fil-A's values don't align with Rider's. Newman doesn't wish to align herself (as one in a leadership position....not merely an employee) with Rider's "values".
I'm curious know who decides a university's values. Is it the dean? President? Board of Trustees?
He uses money he makes from CFA to support organizations that are anti-LGBTQ. Does Bezo financially support groups that promote adultery and sending dic pics?
I’m particularly fond of the Furey POV on who can feel what.
Yep stormin, surely could. Being very close to my FIL, a 300 pound, tough as nails 542 Operating Engineers labor organizer, l also saw the inside world of
Business Appreciation & Politics 301.
Around a decade or so, JD Thomas VP of The IUOE in Washington, sent Pop a paper back book "Heard You Paint House's", followed by a note "Some good reading about some of your friends".

This is all around one of the dumbest stories I have ever heard. Getting principled over a chicken sandwich restaurant on one side, leaving your job over it on the other.
An friend of more than 50 years who was a Rider alumnus and who has had an extremely successful career, held a position on the Rider Board of Trustees about 15 years ago. He resigned in protest after three years on the board when it became apparent the school was not interested at all in any discussions about how to save money. Their entire focus was on development and raising more money.
Public and private schools better start thinking about both revenues and expenses. Those who fail to do so will start to drop away in the not distant future.

Who are the snowflakes? Those wanting to ban Chik-fil-a or this professor?
You would also think others would respect a private individuals ability to choose their association and articulate changes in that association.
