Changes to the Meal Program

The university has decided to eliminate breakfast from its student meal plan. This is being done as a cost-saving measure. The cafeteria was preparing breakfast for all the students who signed up for the plan, but fewer than sixty percent of the students were eating the meals. In the past, the cost of the meal plan included three meals per day. However, breakfast will now only be offered on a pay-as-you-go basis. The price of the meal plan will reflect these changes immediately.
