[Vision2020] U of I Program Cuts

[Donovan Arnold]

Chas,
 
Did you know that Sodexo doesn't decide the food prices, but UI forces them to charge a certain price. If you read their contract with the UI, you will see. 
 
I had a tremendous amount of pressure from students while in ASUI to figure this out. And I was able to get a copy of the written contract between UI and Sodexo, and it was UI, not Sodexo, that was the culprit. 
 
The profits from Sodexo foods goes to UI, not Sodexo. Sodexo provides the services for a modest flat fee, regardless of profit or loss. UI makes sure they make a nice tidy profit off of the food services they provide through Sodexo. 
 
The reason we have to have Sodexo is because no other company is willing to sign the contract UI wants. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

Here we are in some agreement.  I am angered every time I confront the
overpriced swill with which Sodexo abuses students.
