Tufts! As Anna said, "Get with it!" Tufts exploiting workers for profit goes directly against any sort of sense or humanity. Stop enforcing these stupid and harmful policies.

Own up to what you say you are as an INSTITUTION. Stop exclusively putting profits in front of values and people.

Tufts only compares itself with other schools to generate further profit. Yet, when it comes to protecting workers' rights, it hides. We expect better, Tufts, and hold you accountable.

Tufts, its time to step-up and practice what you preach. I have taken so many classes where I have learned about the necessity of labor unions and the exploitation labor workers face. I can't believe our school wouldn't support the very things I am taught on a daily basis.

this situation is a prime example of the hypocrisy of the tufts' administration - hyping up the students commitment to social justice to boost the university's reputation while simultaneously refusing to use union labor

So many other Boston schools only use union labor for large contracts, Tufts shouldn't hold itself to any other standard.

As a former student and current staff member, I strongly believe that Tufts should commit itself to the protections that unionization provides to workers.

Come on, Tufts, every other comparable institution has demonstrated a commitment to fair labor practices in hiring construction contractors. Get with it, Tufts!

An important change to make for our campus! Tufts cannot promote a vision of global citizenship without first becoming a better citizen in its own community.

Tufts can't claim to be a progressive school and abuse its workers at the same time.
