Big business versus the entrepreneur

Got this in my email:
SAVE CAF� 101 Did you know that several members of the administration decided to remove Caf� 101 from campus, and give the restaurant to Aramark - the company that operates all other food and beverage outlets on campus? A petition is circulating, and by signing it you are sending a clear message to the administration that you want to keep Caf� 101 at CSU. 1. CSU gives Aramark hundreds of thousands of CSU dollars every year to operate the cafeteria and operate it's state-subsidized catering monopolyon state property. 2. Caf� 101 receives no such subsidy from CSU. In fact, Caf� 101 pays rent to CSU to operate on campus. 3. This decision was made without student, staff, or faculty input---making it essentially a no-bid contract performed behind closed doors. 4. Caf� 101 employs students and is alumnus owned and operated. 5. Caf� 101 has been serving the campus for 8 years (seven years as Panini's.) 6. The cafeteria and all other food, coffee, & catering on campus is owned and operated by Aramark. 7. CSU wants Aramark to have a complete monopoly of the campus foodservice. 8. Aramarks initial plans call for it to only open the Caf� 101 space for lunch, this means that the evening students will have no campus dining options after 6pm. This would hurt the student experience and hinder the growth of campus life. 9. Caf� 101 is asking for a 20-year contract to continue serving the CSU campus community in its current space or in the former Kinko's buildingnext to Viking Hall.
