Wouldn’t you like to know what else is coming along with those “exclusive pouring rights” being bought up by the biggest names in beverages? Is there a strict student-to-vending machine ratio like the one had by Louisiana State University? Are students guaranteed a certain number of internships? Has the college owned its responsibility to society over the practices of the “pouring” companies?
