Florida Atlantic University Naming Stadium for Prison Company

February 22nd, 2013

Via: The Chronicle of Higher Education:

Some students and immigrant-rights activists are angry about Florida Atlantic University’s announcement on Tuesday that it would rename its football stadium for a prison company in recognition of a $6-million gift from its charitable foundation. The gift came from the GEO Group, a company that owns or operates a global chain of prisons and detention centers, including one about 10 miles from the stadium. The pledge will be paid over 12 years. The university’s president, Mary Jane Saunders, said in a written statement that the gift represented the company’s “incredible generosity,” noting that its chief executive is a Florida Atlantic alumnus and a former chair of the institution’s Board of Trustees. The company’s critics have accused it of human-rights violations, and some said they don’t want the university to be associated with a company that is facing such allegations.

    The USSA can’t let China be No. 1 and have all the fun when it comes to human rights and cheap labor. Check out the inmate wages:
