Shortly after the workers call to boycott Le Meridien, several workers and supporters met with Wharton West’s Vice Dean and lead of Wharton EMBA program Executive Director and asked if Wharton would honor their request. Wharton promptly told them that that they would not.
The poor choices made by the Wharton administration to use the Le Meridien for Wharton EMBA students are shameful and have reflected poorly on the reputation of the Wharton School. Wharton has actively refused to honor the Le Meridien San Francisco workers call to boycott their hotel since 2008. This irresponsible position has forced approximately $19,250.00 of each EMBA student’s tuition is being spent to place them in an uncomfortable environment.
