The administration just confirmed they are shortening the contract length and adopting our quality standards. This victory proves what happens when students refuse to be ignored during contract talks. Stay alert and keep watching the new provider to ensure they actually follow through on these requirements.

As students, the largest stakeholder for campus and campus food, we should have a say about what we are fed. The food contract for campus is currently being negotiated and student will not be at the table. From talking with students and students groups your student union has formulated a list of demands:


Health Food Measures

  • More affordable healthy food options

  • More freshly prepared healthy food options (i.e. sandwiches, wraps, salads)

  • Clear visual display of all nutritional information


Quality Food Measures

  • Minimum standards of food quality implemented into the contract and upheld by the food provider

  • Minimum food grade level requirements for food provider purchasing


Local Retail Outlets

  • More local food business operations on campus

  • Creating a more diversified and competitive market for student food


Shortened Food Contract

  • Current 10 year contract saves money but at the expense of students

  • A 5 year contract would hold the food provider accountable and give them more incentive to make an impact before contract is re-negotiated



As the representation for students on campus we feel that theses demands are very reasonable. Additional resources can be accessed through the sidebar. Please show your support by signing the petition below.

BRING BACK GOOD OPTIONS. The current cafeteria food is honestly gross and way overpriced for students just trying to get through the day.

10 years is way too long for a contract that nobody is happy with anyway. switch it up.

The prices on campus are insane for what we actually get. I shouldn't have to pay ten dollars for a sad looking salad.
