| Whereas | Students regularly eat on campus, and many students live on campus and do not have transportation to eat off campus; and |
| Whereas | Prices off campus in the same restaurants are lower than on campus; and |
| Whereas | Some restaurants in the area give student discounts, and the university can subsidize these companies in order to lower the prices; and |
| Whereas | The university can rent franchise rights from restaurants directly and eliminate Aramark(ARA) as a middle man therefore allowing the university to charge lower prices; and |
| Whereas | Catering on-campus events can be excessively expensive and noncompetitive with off-campus caterers; and |
| Whereas | Aramark has a monopoly on on-campus catering. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The university regulate and monitor prices in on-campus restaurants so that they are reasonably priced; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Sales at restaurants off-campus also be in effect on campus; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The university should also regulate and monitor prices for catering on-campus events so that they are reasonably priced; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | As a final option the university should consider subsidizing the food service so that the financial burden of ARA is not passed on to the students through high prices. |
