Florida
Atlantic University was recently in the news for all the
wrong reasons. They had agreed to a
naming rights deal for their stadium with GEO Group. GEO Group has a controversial past and also
runs for profit prisons. This decision
caused a lot of backlash not only from the students but also the
community. Even though the company’s
founder gave a lot of money to the scholarship programs at the school this was
not enough to stop the backlash. Finally
earlier this week after a month and a half of controversy, Florida Atlantic
dropped their deal with GEO Group.
