Tired of eating at J Street? Have way to much money left and no prerogative to spend it? That may all be changing…As reported by the GW Hatchet, university President Steven Knapp has formed a special commission to address student concerns about the J Street restaurants. The commission includes members from the general student body, the Student Association, representatives from Sodexho and the GW Parent Association. The commission is to meet once or twice a month to discuss dining concerns and is open to anyone in the GW community.
Major policy issues being discussed include mandatory spending and weekend hours. The Student Association has already been successful this year in dealing with Sodexho, including a makeover of the freezer section to include more meats, a vegan bar, providing gluten-free items, fair trade coffee and using biodegradable napkins.
Lou Katz, the Executive Vice President and Treasurer of the university, reports an increase in the number of students dining at J Street, including those not on a mandatory spending plan. However Josh Sacks, a sophomore who attended the first commission meeting, reported that mandatory spending was immediately tabled when the issue was brought up.
But for now, there’s still two weeks to try and spend that money. Good luck and happy eating!
