The university is proposing several changes to campus dining facilities including constructing a new dining center costing $34 million, which would increase meal plan prices by 3% annually for 5 years. Administrators are also considering a 2% cost of living increase for food costs totaling $117,000. They presented options to offset these costs such as splitting increases between meal plan holders and cash customers based on their percentage of sales. Student input was solicited on potential savings from expanding dining hours in the Union.
