Dive Brief:

• Global foodservice giant Sodexo won a three-year extension to its contract to serve the College of DuPage campus in Glen Ellyn, Ill., despite protests from students and area residents.
• At issue was Sodexo's decision to bring Chick-fil-A in as a partner on the campus. Chick-fil-A's chief executive officer is a vocal opponent of gay marriage.
• The move follows a successful effort at Davidson College in North Carolina to ban the restaurant from campus.

Dive Insight:
