Chick-Fil-A isn’t welcome at this N.J. university

LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. — Rider University isn’t interest in Chick-Fil-A.

The insanely popular national chicken chain seemed destined for a campus debut after students responded to spring semester school survey and selected Chick-Fil-A as its top choice. Then things reportedly got weird according to CampusReform.org:

“Rider University in New Jersey sent a survey to students during the spring semester, asking them which restaurants they would like to see the school bring on campus. But when it became clear that Chick-Fil-A was the students’ top choice, the college disregarded the results of the survey.

The school will not bring the popular fast food chain to campus because ‘their corporate values have not sufficiently progressed enough to align with those of Rider,’ according to a Nov. 1 email sent to Rider students and obtained by Campus Reform. The school went on to clarify that the decision was in an effort to ‘promote…inclusion for all people.'”

Chick-fil-A has been a target of criticism in the past for both its open Christian worldview as well as CEO Dan Cathy’s espoused views on same-sex marriage.
