Brock University is becoming ridiculously cheap. They have not respected students and workers. That will explain why Brock University's ESL instructors decided to go on strike in March, 2012. Brock University have pushed students' limits by not opening Market, Decew and Lowenberger dining halls at 7:30 am for breakfast. Campus and residence cafeterias are suppose to be convenient. Classes at Brock University starts at 8:00 am. Does Brock University expect every student on campus eat at McDonald or walk all the way to walker cafeteria for breakfast before their morning class. Numerous studies have shown that breakfast is a very important and healthy meal for students. By not opening these cafeteria for breakfast, Brock University is encouraging an unhealthy life style for students. In addition, during the weekend, Decew and Lowenberger cafeteria are closed. Last year I have discussed a similar matter with Jamie Fleming (Director of Residences) about reopening Decew and Lowenberger Cafeteria on weekends, but we can see that he did not listen to this suggestion. Cafeteria that are specifically designed for residence should be open all the time for residence student while campus cafeteria should be designed for students who live off campus. Residence students should not be walking outside on weekends to a campus cafeteria. It is a disgrace for Brock University to be an educational institution while the cafeteria in Decew and Lowenberger is open until 1:00pm it means that Brock University encourages 1st year residence student to stay up late.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are tired of arriving at morning classes on empty stomachs. It is clear that the administration ignores our basic needs while expecting us to perform at our best. I am currently working on a formal proposal to show exactly how these restricted hours impact our daily lives.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that I am not the only one tired of skipping breakfast before an eight o'clock lecture. It is clear that we all expect better from the university when it comes to our basic daily needs.

it is honestly so exhausting having to hike across campus at 7am before an 8am lecture when i pay to live in residence. just open the cafeterias.
What are we paying residence fees for if we can't even get a meal on the weekend?? Seriously ridiculous.

Total joke. I have an 8am class and I end up skipping breakfast every single day because nothing is open. Fix this.
