University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Student Consumer Action Union

The Student Consumer Action Union (SCAU) was established at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1972 as an agency of student government supported by student fees. Its purposes were to protect student consumer rights and to improve consumer-merchant relations in the Chapel Hill-Research Triangle area by developing educational, investigative, and advocacy progams. The Union focussed its efforts on price levels and merchandising practices, food quality and pricing, health care, rental rates, landlord responsibilities, and tenant rights.
