		The total cost of FairTrade Coffee for Yale Dining Services is estimated to be $11,000 to $12,000 annually, according to Ernst Huff, Associate Vice President of Student Financial and Administrative Services.
		Though Nickson predicted that students should expect to see more FairTrade products in Yale's dining halls in the future, the student group chose to advocate coffee first rather than any other products because Yalies consume more coffee than the other available products (9,000 pounds of coffee each year) and because coffee is FairTrade's premier product.
