"I really like the idea of more community dining, but the price was a big deal for me," Mills said.
After finding out why the meal plan price was going up, Mills said, she understood the situation and thought the student body should be informed, as well.
Kindy, a sophomore political science major, said he plans to hold information sessions outside The Main to answer any questions students may have and put notecards on the tables to address frequently asked questions.
"Students are going to be shocked, so I want to inform them of what is going on," Kindy said. "If people understand, then they can say if they don't agree and voice their opinions."
And Kindy said he likes the idea of an all-you-can-eat dining format.
"There will be more options available and longer hours," Kindy said.
However, if students have a complaint, Kindy said, Dining Services would be happy to hear them.
"Students don't usually like change," Kindy said. "So older students probably won't like the plan because they're not used to it. But that is why we're announcing it now and asking questions."
Mills agreed.
"Students shouldn't be afraid of change," she said. "It can be a good thing; we just have to get the kinks worked out."
