By 1949, however, students dissatisfied with the college's dining system chose to revive the cooperative <a href="/wiki/Food_system" title="Food system">food system</a>. 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 <a href="/wiki/Keep_Cottage" title="Keep Cottage">Keep</a>, the ICC became the Oberlin Student Cooperative Association, the largest student-run cooperative in American history. </p><p>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.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This setback caused a rift in the community and instigated the start of several major changes to the cooperative structure. </p><p>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.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This has evolved over time into OSCA's current bi-yearly Privilege & Oppression Workshop series, where OSCA members are invited to hold workshops on different aspects of OSCA in order to educate membership on the roles of privilege & oppression within the organization. OSCA members are required to attend or lead at least one workshop every semester. </p><p>During the COVID Pandemic in 2020, Oberlin College and OSCA negotiated a new rent contract, more officially splitting the two entities. The contract greatly increased the amount of rent OSCA pays for the use of its buildings while removing many services and supports that the college had previously offered OSCA. This has led to a shift in OSCA's reputation on campus, as the organization is now much more expensive and offers less comprehensive services than other campus options. This, along with declining membership and inflation, has led to tensions within OSCA in the last few years, especially as recent leadership teams have deteriorated relationships with Oberlin College. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Operations">Operations</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Operations"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>OSCA pays rent to Oberlin College for use of its buildings, but otherwise operates autonomously. OSCA collects its own tuition, manages its own finances, organizes its own members, buys directly from local farms, and manages its operations without Oberlin College intervention. Largely, the organization is run by its member-owners. For large decisions that affect all OSCA co-ops, student members vote by OSCA's <a href="/wiki/Consensus_process" class="mw-redirect" title="Consensus process">consensus process</a> on all rules and implement decisions. This process also occurs at the level of the individual co-op. </p><p>OSCA members fill all positions within the co-ops, such as president, Sexual Harm Information Liaisons (SHILs), head cook, and kitchen prep. Members of OSCA do all of the cooking, cleaning, food buying, baking, and other tasks within their individual co-ops. Members can also work for money and/or hours in elected or hired positions such as Board Rep, Cleanliness & Maintenance Coordinator, or Accessibility Committee Coordinator. Each co-op decides at the beginning of each semester how much time members must contribute. For those who hold jobs outside of the co-op, most co-ops will offer "time aid" to significantly reduce the number of co-op hours required. Every member of OSCA must clean up after one meal a week.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The organization also employs two Full-time Employees, a Financial Manager and Business Coordinator, and two part-time Employees: a Food Safety and Operations Advisor, and an Office Assistant. </p><p>Every fall, OSCA members vote for the corporation's officers for the next year, including OSCA President, Treasurer, Chair of the Board, and Membership Secretary. These officers, along with other student staff and adult employees, make up the general management team, or the GMT. The GMT deals with the overall operations of the co-ops, but generally does not involve itself in minute decisions. In addition to this operational management, OSCA's policies and protocols are managed by the Board of Directors. This Board is made up of two representatives from every co-op as well as the chair of the board. </p><p>There are no meal cards or cafeteria trays in co-ops. <a href="/wiki/Communal_meal" title="Communal meal">Communal meals</a> are prepared for lunch at 12:20 pm and dinner at 6:20 pm, and the kitchens are open 24/7. Guest policies are set by members so they can bring friends and professors to meals.

However, there are certain individual leadership roles that function on an all-OSCA level (rather than on an individual co-op level) in order to allow OSCA to function as the large organization that it is. These jobs include four Officer positions and a number of All-OSCA student staff positions. Students in these roles oversee different aspects of OSCA. While in the past most positions were elected annually, OSCA has transitioned to hiring for most All-OSCA roles. Examples include <a href="/wiki/Resident_assistant" title="Resident assistant">Housing Loose End Coordinators</a>, the OSCA-Oberlin College Liaison, Dining and Housing Operations Managers, and various committee coordinators. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Co-op_Staff">Co-op Staff</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Co-op Staff"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Each co-op also employs many of its members in specific positions; work performed in these positions counts towards a student's hours within their co-op. These roles exist distinctly within housing and dining co-ops, and one student may hold both a housing and dining co-op job to fulfill their required hours. Examples in dining include Tasty Things Makers, Bread Makers, Kitchen Coordinators, Party Coordinators, and Food Buyers.

In 1979, Harkness became the first Oberlin co-op to use consensus, a decision process that soon spread throughout OSCA. Also in 1979, Harkness created the Contraceptive Co-op, which eventually transformed into today's Sexual Information Center at Oberlin.<sup id="cite_ref-oberlin1_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-oberlin1-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> For many years, Harkness was also home to the Good Food Co-op, a consumer cooperative that was run and used by both Oberlin College students and Oberlin community members. Harkness traditions include operating the large basement dining room as a dance club and hosting a Jellyfish Parade during every full moon. Its mascot, a grey paper-maché shark, hangs in the main stairway, and lends the moniker "sharks" to Hark's membership. </p><p>Harkness is also home to Third World Social Justice Co-op (TWSJ), which provides safe-space housing for BIPOC Oberlin Students and OSCA members. It is closely related to the Third World Co-op (TWC), which provides safe-space dining for the same groups: they are often seen as the housing and dining parts of one larger Third-World Co-op. Unlike other housing & dining co-ops, though, TWSJ and TWC are housed separately in different buildings, with Baldwin House, one of Oberlin College's women and trans* houses situated on the opposite side of Harkness Bowl, housing the TWC kitchen. OSCA has been dealing with reports of internal racism against members of TWC/TWSJ for years, and a Racism in OSCA panel has become a staple of the Privilege & Oppression Workshops the organization holds every semester. Both TWSJ and TWC are the lowest-membership co-ops in their respective categories. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tank_Co-op">Tank Co-op</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Tank Co-op"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Tank is OSCA's second-largest co-op, located a quarter mile east of any other building on Oberlin's Campus. Tank traditions include the annual Pig Roast. Tank is currently home to both the OSCA office, which houses most of OSCA's adult employees (the Food Safety & Operations Advisor works out of Harkness). While many OSCA co-ops have a certain image within the Oberlin community, none is more solidified than Tank's as a frat house. Tank is also home to the Book Co-op, which offers used textbooks to Oberlin College students free of charge. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Keep_Co-op">Keep Co-op</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Keep Co-op"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Housed in a Tudor-style building just north of Tappan Square, Keep Co-op is one of OSCA's oldest. The co-op is famous for eating on its large porch and steps in all weather and seasons. There is some debate as to whether Keep or Harkness first began the tradition of Friday Night Pizza, but the tradition has persisted in Keep as well as in Harkness. Keep is also home to the Bike Co-op, an independently run co-operative providing bike maintenance to Oberlin College students. Members of the co-op can also learn how to build their own bicycles, and are encouraged to keep any they build after a certain amount of labor has been committed.

It is currently OSCA's only dining-only co-op, with no housing component or related co-op. While Pyle was once OSCA's largest co-op, membership has declined steeply in recent years, as changes in messaging from OSCA and Oberlin College has led to it being viewed as a "First-Year Co-op", filled largely with new, unexperienced members. Operating out of Asia House has caused difficulty for the co-op, as Asia House is intended to be a safe-space for Asian students to live on campus, many of whom are not in co-ops, leading to tense relationships between the two bodies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Former_Facilities">Former Facilities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Former Facilities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fairchild_Co-op">Fairchild Co-op</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Oberlin_Student_Cooperative_Association&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Fairchild Co-op"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Fairchild, known on campus and by its members as "Fairkid," was a dining-only co-op that opened in 1977 in the basement of Fairchild Hall.
