Newman's resignation was first reported Tuesday by Campus Reform, a conservative news site that bills itself as a higher education watchdog.

She confirmed the resignation to The Associated Press.Rider University, located outside Trenton, had sent a survey last year asking students which restaurants they would like to see on campus.

Chick-fil-A has donated millions over the years to groups that oppose same-sex marriage. In 2012, the company's chief operating officer criticized same-sex marriage, prompting some politicians to block the chain from expanding in certain areas.She said when the university released"talking points" to staff about what they should say to anyone critical of the decision instead of an apology, she couldn't adhere to them.
