Officials at Brigham Young University have announced that caffeinated soft drinks will be available for sale on the campus in Provo.

Reversing a policy in place since the mid-1950s, BYU Director of Dining Services Dean Wright said late Thursday consumer tastes had changed over the years and in light of more frequent requests, officials had begun adding canned and bottled caffeinated soft drinks to beverage inventories for sale on campus.

In an online question-and-answer on the change, Wright said BYU administrators were supportive of the decision, which he said was not influenced by financial considerations.
