Students living in Reese, Humes, Carrick North, and Carrick South were required to purchase a meal plan for meals at the Presidential Court when the dining facilities opened in fall 1967. The cost of the room and board (20 meals) plan for the academic year was $885. A proposal to require all students to purchase a declining balance meal plan was initiated in 2013. After significant student opposition, the plan was reworked, and a revised plan was implemented for fall 2015. The revised plan required that all first-year undergraduates who live on campus purchase a meal plan and that non-first-year students enrolled in at least six credit hours purchase $300 in Dining Dollars. The Dining Dollars unused would then roll into students’ All Star accounts, from which students could request a refund or could use them at All Star locations. The plan also included offering Cumberland Avenue restaurants the option to take Dining Dollars.
