Now, in all honesty, the student government here at Bard is hard at work at making things better, but it is still quite funny to utilize "We Shall Overcome" in the context of this pursuit of fair prices.
The following was adopted by the Student Forum on Wednesday, the 8th of October.
*Food* *Policy*
1. The costs previously covered by the supplementary fee on the meal
plan shall be redistributed into the tuition. Other expenditures, if
deemed prudent and necessary, shall be made public and proposed to the
Student Association of Bard College to be voted upon at a Student Forum.
2. There shall be meal plan options given to students who may choose
to reduce their meals per week to a proportionate amount of Bard
Bucks, or reduce the total cost of the plan.
3. Bard shall work with area restaurants and stores to institute
Student ID scanners so that Students may expend Bard Bucks at
alternative businesses. This will increase competition among local
businesses for Student patronage and provide a boon to the local
economy. The cost may be covered by an acceptable proportionate
supplementary fee on the price of meal plans.
4. Down the Road shall not charge students for items and add-ons they
don't want. It is the position of the Student Association to have DTR
offer basic items and allow students to add toppings and add-ons at
additional cost. DTR shall maintain prices in competition with local
restaurants and other colleges.
5. Manor Cafe shall return to the Meal Exchange system used prior to
this year. All items available shall be categorized under the ABC
meal exchange system previously employed by Chartwells.
6. The Green Onion shall price items closer to the prices available at
local grocery stores.
