According to Jami Snyder, the communications coordinator for the Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS), HUDS currently has three contracts with Coca-Cola—for bottled soda, fountain syrup, and Odwalla juices, respectively. These contracts only supply HUDS, and do not apply to the other schools of the University, she said. Snyder refused to specify how much HUDS spends on Coke products...
