  „These days, students seem to favor the more diplomatic path. When students, faculty and dining services can come together on common ground and openly discuss the idea of carrying fair-trade-certified coffee, the end result is more appreciated by all parties involved. For example, take Villanova University, in Villanova, Pa., where dining services director Tim Dietzler switched to fair-trade-certified coffee in 100 percent of the eating establishments on campus after students organized and approached him with a cogent, logical and well-mannered proposal. The straight forward method fared well with Dietzler, whose school is now only one of 15 that carries solely fair-trade-certified coffee on campus.“
