The Oberlin Student Cooperative Association (OSCA) is a non-profit corporation that feeds 615 and houses 174 Oberlin College students.〔Batdorff, Lee. ( Locally grown food on Oberlin's menu; College's co-op wants short paths from farm to plate. ) ''Crain's Cleveland Business.'' 13 May 2002. 〕 It is located in the town of Oberlin, Ohio, and is independent from but closely tied to Oberlin College, which has an enrollment of approximately 2900 students. OSCA is the second-largest student cooperative in North America, with the largest per-capita of any student co-op. ==History==
The first Oberlin co-op, Pyle Inn, opened in 1930 but due to poor funding existed only intermittently. By 1949, however, students dissatisfied with the college's dining system chose to revive the cooperative food system. The Inter-Cooperative Council (ICC) was founded in conjunction between Pyle and the newly opened Grey Gables, with a mission to serve as an educational and social committee. By 1962, with the inception of Keep, the ICC became the Oberlin Student Cooperative Association, the largest student-run cooperative in American history. OSCA flourished for another twenty years,but underwent a critical financial crisis in 1982. OSCA was audited by the IRS and nearly lost its tax-exempt status.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://osca.csr.oberlin.edu/download/student/OSCA%20Owner's%20Manual.pdf )〕 This setback caused a rift in the community and instigated the start of several major changes to the cooperative structure. By 1989, the organization committed to practices of sustainability and environmentalism, purchasing local foods and cooking with more environmentally-friendly practices. In the spring of 2002, OSCA created the institution of COPAO, the Committee on Privilege and Oppression, which explores racial and socio-economic inequality within the cooperative system.〔eds.
