“We won this because we spoke the truth about GEO’s human rights abuses,”* said Anole Halper, a member of the student group called Stop Owlcatraz, so-named because the FAU football team is nicknamed the Owls.
Although it was not mentioned in the university press release, GEO Group released a letter from Zoley to university Board of Trustees Chairman Anthony Barbar, pledging $500,000 for academic scholarships this year in lieu of naming agreement.
