WHY SHOULD A PUBLIC UNIVERSITY GET TO DECLARE “VALUES” THAT OTHERS MUST CONFORM TO? Purdue Senate favors requirement that all business ‘uphold the same values’ ahead of Chick-fil-A opening. “While the resolution fails to name Chick-Fil-A specifically, Purdue Equity and Diversity Committee Chair Audrey Ruple, who helped write it, referenced Chick-Fil-A directly in her presentation to the Senate, according to the Purdue Exponent.”

How about let Indiana taxpayers decide what Purdue’s values should be — subject, as the faculty senate apparently thinks it’s not, to the Constitution, of course.

Plus the usual Orwellian inversion: “The resolution states that Purdue ‘is committed to maintaining an inclusive community’ that ‘fosters tolerance.'” So exclude Chik-Fil-A, because we won’t tolerate them!
