College Park SDS announces the kick-off of our campaign for a non-profit, University run bookstore in the Stamp!!!facebook_image

The University Book Center contract is up for grabs, and the administration has started their closed-door process to sign a new one. Despite student objections Steve Gnadt (Stamp Business Manager) and Gretchen Metzelaars (Stamp Director) are refusing to consider a non-profit or co-op model that would save students money and give us more control over store inventory and labor practices.

We can’t let the administration make a decision this important without listening to students’ voices. Get involved and let’s tell the administration to do what’s best for students, not for shareholders!

Check back here for updates in the next couple of days!!
