Notre Dame students and faculty outraged by proposed campus Chick-fil-A, claim fast food option isn’t inclusive enough
A group of students and faculty at an elite Catholic university say they don’t want Chick-fil-A to open a restaurant on their Indiana campus because of the restaurant chain’s frequent donations to Christian groups.
Roughly 180 University of Notre Dame students and faculty have signed an open letter calling on the school’s Campus Dining division to nix the proposed new shop.
The movement gained steam after two undergrad students wrote a letter to the editor to the Observer, a college newspaper, titled "Keep Chick-fil-A away," Campus Reform reported Monday.
The letter writers, Tilly Keeven-Glascock and Joey Jegier, accused Chick-fil-A of donating millions to "queerphobic groups," which they said include the nonprofit Fellowship of Christian Athletes. And they objected to owner Dan Cathy’s personal donations to organizations like the National Christian Charitable Foundation, which they alleged "funds hate groups."
Fox News reported in 2019 that Chick-fil-A said it would no longer donate to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and the Salvation Army because of similar criticisms and had cut off other groups as early as 2012.

Bizarre ain’t it?
If you understood the rot in most “Catholic” universities, you wouldn’t be surprised.
ND’s god is not God.
180 people out of a total of nearly 13,000 students (I don’t know the amount of faculty, staff, professors etc). So that’s probably around 1% when you include non-student “faculty”. 1% of any large group of people will gripe about something.
Squeaky wheels really do get the grease it seems. But this is blown way out of proportion. 180 people complain and it’s national news, syndicated on social media platforms and cell phone news services? This is getting more play than the people killed in the flooding in Europe.
We need a list of the 26 faculty who signed this BS letter/petition.
looking for a couple of the old Marxists/Hanoi Lobby members who are associated with the Kroc Institute, which is rapidly becoming the center of Marxist activities at Notre Dame.
One such professor is David Cortright, identified in the March-April 1998 issue of the neo-Marxist Rev. Jim Wallis publication “Sojourners” as
* former executive director of SANE ( A Citizens Committee for a Sane World) which later merged with the “Nuclear Freeze Campaign”, a heavily communist influenced organization.
* is president of the Fourth Freedom Forum
** identified as the executive director of SANE (as of 1982;former as of 1998) and “a founder of the US Peace Council (an identified KGB front chapter of the Soviet-created World Peace Council); a former G organizer at Fort Bliss; IPS protégé of Marcus Raskin (the Marxist co-creator and leader of the marxist-funded Institute for Policy Studies); and “staffer of the Center for National Security Studies, a leftist “think tank” against American national defense policies. (p. 170, “The War Called Peace: The Soviet Peace Offensive”, Rep. John Ashbrook, et al, Western Goals, Inc., organization and publishing company).
* Participant in “anniversary” celebrations/forums concerning Hanoi’s conquest of Indochina (a joint venture of something like the 40th Anniversary Celebration/Committee re the liberation of So. Vietnam, a joint venture with the Kroc Institute and NYU’s DC campus, plus a similar event in 2021.
One of these was “The Kroc Institute Conference on the Vietnam War”, 2015, which featured Cortright on Panel 7 (roundtable), The Anti-War movement, identifying him as Kroc Institute of International Peace Studies, university of Notre Dame”.
He was described as a “Vietnam-era army band member turn GI resistor, active in communist front organizations during and after the war”, in “Our “Pre-Sponse” - A Supplement to the Kroc Institute Conference on The Vietnam War” in the series “Then and Now: Assessing the Critical Lessons” published as one of the “yellow books” history books of “Vietnam Veterans for Factual History” (vvfh.org).
There is more on Cortright at both www.DiscoverTheNetworks.org and www.keywiki.org

We live in such a rich country/society that people actually have time to get worked up about this.
Best comment ever on the CFA controversy. Huge language warning, but funny as could be.
URL shortener used because of language in the URL (!).
lol....nice rant!!! On point.
Commies ...
Pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
But honestly, I wonder how the writer really feels about it?
Maybe if Notre Dame was an actual Catholic Catholic school this wouldn’t be happening, but not to worry Father Jenkins knows where his money comes from and it’s not from the signers. The question is already settled and CFA gets its store on campus.
It probably won’t be far from the “Rudy” LDS temple look it up) and the Sodomy Club meeting room.
Hilarious!
Insanity is spreading. Some people just have no life.
180 University of Notre Dame students are queer who knew sounds like their at the wrong university.
Buttigieg isn’t on the national stage had it not been for Notre Dame students and faculty.
It shows how infected their mind is such a horrible lot.
Here’s the list:
Letter to Campus Dining on Chick-fil-A
Dear Campus Dining,
Before we get to our request, we wish to thank the Campus Dining leadership for your work creating a quality dining experience for students during a global pandemic. You went above-and-beyond this past year, adapting the dining halls to meet CDC and University guidelines, providing impressive themed dinners, and making an excellent vegan line in the dining halls.
As you continue to improve Notre Dame’s on-campus dining, we wish to make our voices heard on an important issue. On May 12, the Campus Dining Instagram announced that leadership is considering the fast food restaurant Chick-fil-A as part of a new retail dining master plan. While a large portion of the student body would approve of this decision, we hope to show that many of us oppose the addition of Chick-fil-A.
We believe, as we wrote in The Observer, that there are a multitude of reasons to oppose Chick-fil-A: its anti-LGBTQ+ activism, reliance on animal agriculture, and lack of accommodations for students with special dietary needs, to name a few. Bringing Chick-fil-A to campus would run contrary to Notre Dame’s commitment to inclusion and desire to create good in the world. So, we ask that you remove Chick-fil-A from your considerations and instead consider other additions to our retail dining.
Students at other universities, such as NYU and Northeastern, have made headlines in their attempts to block Chick-fil-A. We have no plans for such a large-scale disruption; rather, we wish to resolve this concern before it transforms into a larger controversy. Thank you for considering our request, and we hope that this is the starter of wider dialogue on how to fulfill students’ desires while also considering the ethics of what we consume.
Sincerely,
Jim Moster, 2022
