'We beseech you to rectify this situation immediately, promoting inclusion and equity instead of hatred and intolerance.'
A new Chick-fil-A in the University of Kansas student union has prompted outcry from faculty who see the addition as potentially harmful.
Chick-fil-A is often the center of controversy due to CEO Dan Cathy's beliefs, which are deeply rooted in Christianity. The chain is closed on Sundays in observation of what some Christians refer to as the"Lord's Day" and Cathy has been quoted saying he believes in the"biblical definition of the family unit," according to Vox. This means marriage only between a man and woman.
"While we recognize that contractual obligations did not allow the complete removal of the brand from campus, we are outraged that they have been allowed to move from the Wescoe Underground to a new, bigger, more central location on the University of Kansas campus," the letter says. The school has also committed to a"Chick-fil-A coin toss" at KU home football games, which the council also opposes.
