Please ask the details of code violations from the administrators, they are still using the kitchen behind the Tomato Bar. It is just a scam what they did; the school that takes lots of pride in integrity and honesty the administrators do NOT follow the core values. They just make six figure salaries and keep deceiving students and others. I hope students ask for the study done last year on the building and according to the study it would have taken fraction of money to fix the issues so students can have the services. Dining has lost its moral compass and some of the top administrators should leave for telling lies. Please ask them what salary they draw ....you all will be surprised! Instead of providing good/quality service they care about their own salaries and benefits and do NOT think about students welfare, it is SAD.

Dining Services has been robbing students for years. In 2004 with the 150 meal plan, you'd pay basically 7.50 per meal on campus. Very few outbound meals would ever ring up to that much, meaning that Dining Services was stealing up to 3 dollars per meal. And when you think about the prison grade food that's actually being sold, that drops the REAL value of the food from what they are charging even lower - likely a dollar or two.

Lastly, think about how you were not refunded for the meals you didn't eat, and they weren't rolled over to next semester. For many people I knew, this was at least 20 meals.

Multiply this by 20,000 people over X years and you see why they are having trouble paying the bills. They are moving towards a more fair pay system, which is never going to rake in as much money as extortion.
