End Forced Meal Plans at USF!

At USF, students take issue with the current dining options, particularly at The Hub, where concerns about food quality, including undercooked meat, are evident. Additionally, both Fresh Foods and Juniper Halls are criticized for offering below-average food similar to high school cafeteria food.

Given these concerns and the high cost associated with meal plans, meal plans continue to weigh down USF students. Students advocate for the flexibility to cook for themselves, citing the ability to save money and enjoy more satisfying meals. Allowing for downgrades or switches in meal plans would grant students greater control over their dining choices and expenses. Making meal plans optional would address the dissatisfaction expressed by students and empower them to seek alternative dining solutions, such as utilizing on-campus grocery options or cooking in their apartments.

Dorm cooking has become rampantly popular and choosing to increase campus profit over the ability of already struggling college students is taking advantage of the people attempting to simply get an education at USF. We hereby petition President Rhea Law to make Meal Plans optional at the University of South Florida to allow students the autonomy to make healthy and cost-effective choices for their diet.
