The Scoop on the Food

There's lots of questions about Sodexho, so let me share what I've learned so far.

Last year there was a bidding process held for the food service in the Forum. A student focus group was brought together and all of their feedback was added directly to the request for proposal that all three vendors responded to. Sodexho was the most responsive to the student requests for things like a lower cost menu for student events, more vegetarian options and greener practices.

However, the process was rushed and there were unaddressed concerns by constituencies other than the full time students, so they were given only a one year contract. Several performance metrics were set to see if they could address the issues raised.

We're working to get more feedback on how Sodexho is specifically addressing the student concerns raised last year so we can pass them on to you. There are also some discounts that might be available to students so we'll get the details to those also.

You do get a discount on coffee if you bring your own cup so lets save some plastic lids!

If you have thoughts or questions on the food service, do let me know.
