University of Kansas (KU) faculty and staff this week denounced the school's relationship with Chick-fil-A and called for a boycott of the restaurant.

“KU granted Chick-fil-A, a bastion of bigotry, a prime retail location in the heart of our campus,” the university's Sexuality & Gender Diversity Faculty and Staff Council wrote in a letter to the school's chancellor and other university leaders.

“Moving Chick-fil-A to the Union and granting it a role at the start of all home football games violates the feelings of safety and inclusion that so many of us have striven to create, foster, and protect on campus, and sends a message that the Union, KU Athletics, and the administration at large are more concerned about money and corporate sponsorship than the physical, emotional, and mental well being of marginalized and LGBTQ people,” they added.
