Writer Call it a captive audience.
It's not so much that the university wants to get its name out to students - this is an upgrade for UF students, one that isn't costing them anything. More than 6,000 dispensers offering toilet paper, paper towels and soap are being installed at no cost to UF, thanks to a lucrative bid offered by Georgia Pacific. The Gators get all the dispensers they need for free, in exchange for buying Georgia Pacific products to fill them for the next three years. Workers began installations five weeks ago and will continue to dispense dispensers across campus, hoping to finish before Christmas. Not only is the switch financially beneficial for the university, but students like the new dispensers as well, Jones said.
