It is widely known that NYU students have an affinity for coke. Ahem.

Coca-Cola is currently in the midst of a three year ban on the New York University campus — a largely symbolic gesture considering the only thing any outsider knows about our school is that we don’t have a campus. But for those boycotting bodegas and Duane Reade yet still craving that Classic red, the day is coming to reconsider the sale of Coca-Cola products at dining halls and in vending machines school-wide.

Officially, Coke has met all of the terms of the initial ban, requiring a change of language to the resolution lest it become completely irrelevant. A Political Union and Review resolution failed by an 11-14 vote in early December, but the time has come again to yell and scream until we’re all red in the face and, um, need a soda.

The Filibuster, our own self-proclaimed “Political Watchdog” blog, has information about the upcoming Coca-Cola Forum, open only to the NYU community as an opportunity to debate the ban. Everyone who enters the Forum must sign-in and identify as either pro-ban or anti-ban to participate. Activists and die-hard capitalists, we’re counting on you both. Represent us honorably. Or something.
