UH Students for Fair Trade further their escalation tactics against UH interim president Dr. John Rudley during a UH football game where he makes an appearance.
University of Houston Students for Fair Trade members Ross Barnard and Timothy O’Brien shut down president John Rudley’s speech to the faculty senate on Wednesday afternoon September 20. They rolled into the room with a large banner that read “Rudley ignores student concerns,” “Students for Fair Trade.”
The Students for Fair Trade were angered by the administration’s actions ignoring the bill the Student Government had passed last spring. The bill required an all fair trade coffee vendor to be installed in the 24 hour study lounge in the M.D. Anderson library. Public information requests revealed that the University signed a contract with Starbucks and didn’t even put the contract out to bid. Starbucks will not sell only fair trade coffee.
