U. Senate, we commend you for upholding Coke ban

Regarding "By 5-Vote Margin, Ban on Coke to Stay in Effect" (4/21/08):
On behalf of Law Students for Economic Justice, we wish to commend the University Senate for voting to maintain the ban on selling Coca-Cola products on campus.
Coke's request that NYU lift the ban demonstrates that the ban applies pressure on Coke to change. The vote sends Coke a message that if they want the university's business, they should allow a truly independent investigation into the assassinations of Colombian union activists and respect the rights of those who work in and live near Coke's facilities.

Vitamin Water continues to be sold by NYU. It is owned by the Coca-Cola corporation...

Who is "we" ?
Certainly not the student body.
I resent having a small focus group speak for me, and for all of us. Put this to a vote, including the entire student body. (Continued…)
