Cornell will be terminating its partnership with Starbucks no later than the expiration of its current contract, Student Assembly President Patrick Kuehl ’24 announced in an Aug. 16 email to the student body. Cornell is currently a participant in the “We Proudly Serve Starbucks” program, which allows its cafés and dining halls on campus to serve Starbucks products. “Cornell Dining does not intend to serve Starbucks Coffee in its café venues after the current agreement with the company expires in 2025,” Vice President for University Relations Joel Malina said. Advocating for Cornell to terminate its Starbucks contract since May, Starbucks Workers United leader Evan Sunshine ’24 told The Sun he is pleased with the University’s decision. In addition, the article has been updated to reflect that Dobosh was not part of the group advocating for Cornell to terminate its Starbucks contract and only worked for Starbucks during the unionization process.
