Considering that the University of Leicester is a university, the food situation on campus is incredibly anti-student.
Firstly, food prices are out of control; food on campus is far more expensive than it should be. Ideally, campus food should be as cheap as what is commercially available outside and comparable to prices at other universities. However, at this university, food on campus is often far more expensive than many alternatives outside.
Secondly, apart from Freemans, food outlets on campus close incredibly early and often before lectures are finished, which is inconvenient for so many students. Food on campus should be open as late as possible to give students, especially those who are in late lecturers or a part of sports groups or societies, greater convenience.
Issues like food prices or food outlet opening times are ultimately decided upon by the Leicester Student Partnership. Which is why this motion calls for the Student Union to make the case to the Leicester Students Partnership regarding these two issues. Firstly, ask the partnership to lower food prices, at least to what is commercially available outside of campus and is comparable to other universities. Secondly, to extend campus food outlet opening times at least until 7pm when all lecturers on campus have finished.
Thanks for reading, and please consider voting for this motion.
