At Elizabethtown College, every student who resides on campus in a dorm must purchase a $2,480 per semester meal plan. Many institutions require only first-year students, not upperclassmen, to buy such an expensive meal plan. Elizabethtown College, however, currently mandates that each student in a dorm must spend nearly $5,000 each school year for Dining Services' food. Moreover, according to Dining Services, "Any changes will likely occur starting Fall 2015. Consideration is being given to increase Jay Buck amounts. Guest meals are not being eliminated, but possibly limited."

We the undersigned believe that on-campus students, particularly those who have passed their first year, should be able to provide their own food if they so choose rather than paying nearly $5,000 per year for a meal plan. Furthermore, we believe that students who do choose to purchase such a meal plan should be able to use their meal swipes at their own discretion. We ask that these options be instituted by the College as soon as possible.
