Students petition for university to drop Aramark

Clarkson University students are protesting what they deem poor food quality and high prices.

Michigan State University is beefing up chef training with an 18-month program.

The goal is to shift away from meat-centric menus, officials say.

The kitchens save nearly $230,000 per participating school, officials say.

A nonprofit contracted to feed the elderly spent more than $3.5 million earmarked for senior meals on other things.

The near $500,000 project would allow the school to cook and prepare food on premise rather than having it trucked in daily.

The tactics shared included methods to reduce waste and increase sales of healthy items, such as giving vegetables creative names and placing white milk first in the lunch line.

The kiosks at North Rowan and Salisbury High Schools are set up just inside the main doors where students can choose a juice, fruit and muffin.

Nearly 1,000 inmates staged silent protests against the meals provided by Trinity Services Group, which replaced Aramark about eight months ago.

The new warehouse will save the school district more than $380,000 annually, officials say.

The hours were changed shortly after a $5 million funding cut for the university was approved.
