float_sticker_span.gif New York University may be better known for scandals with students selling coke than for drinking it, but the private university located in the heart of Greenwich Village is looking to ban the soda and all its products. The carbonated company has until December 8 to agree to an independent investigation of its Colombian bottling operations. Coke has been battling accusations of abusive and possibly criminal labor practices in Latin America including kidnapping and murder of labor leaders. The ironly of all ironies is that NYU is currently involved in their own labor dispute with grad student teachers.
