Stop Mandatory Meal Plans at the University of Tennessee Knoxville

Take the proposal to require all students to purchase Aramark products including the specific proposal to purchase 300 dining dollars off the table for good.

Why is this important?

The University of Tennessee and Aramark are proposing that all students be forced to purchase a $300 Dining Dollars meal plan, including students that do not use dining facilities or even live on-campus. AGAIN. Even after student outrage at the proposal in Fall 2013 caused it to be taken off the table, the administration and Aramark are attempting to pass the proposal through the Board of Trustees with the mandatory meal plan component still intact.
