Dining services updated for new year - Dining Beat
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on updated dining plans, meal exchanges and precautions against H1N1.
- The News-Letter reported that freshmen could use the new “Anytime Dining” plan for unlimited entries and exits at the Fresh Food Café, while the other plan offered 14 weekly meal swipes; one freshman estimated using 25 swipes weekly and another about 20.
- The paper reported that Dining Services director Dave Furhman said student feedback led to the plan, including a request for access to the café for coffee or snacks.
- The article says Furhman reported no problems serving the larger freshman class, while freshman Jeff Dallatezza said the café felt crowded around meal times.
- The reporter writes that the Meal Exchange Program allowed upperclassmen to use a meal swipe at Nolan’s for dinner, but freshmen could not use it because Dining Services wanted to focus on communal dining at the café.
- The article adds that Dining Services used a Waste-o-Meter to track food waste and introduced hand-sanitizer stations, hygiene reminders and a “FLU FOOD” takeout program for ill students.
