More Efficient Meal Plans for Students on Kent State Campus
Author(s)
Abstract
Our group has been noticing some issues regarding the meal plans and their structures at Kent State University's main campus. Recently, Kent State students haven't been satisfied with where their money is going towards when selecting a meal plan. An example of this would be most of the expenses going towards the dining halls over money available in declining balance. We plan to revise the structures of the currently available meal plans to meet the needs of students by allowing Kent State students to be able to decide how much and where their money will go to on and off campus among the many dining options. We will be working with other state universities and colleges who are also catered by Aramark to compare our meal plan structures with theirs and working with Aramark to make a meal plan that is both cost efficient and increases the retention rates of returning students back to Kent State University.
