The inclusion of a restaurant owned by such a group on a Cornell Dining Plan is deeply hypocritical for a University that trumpets “any person, any study.”
During the two-week long strike that saw more than 1,000 Cornell workers walk out and closures of eateries around campus, Cornell gave 50 City Bucks to students on some University meal plans. In late August, a sign appeared in The Yellow Deli’s window that City Bucks and Ithaca College Bomber Bucks, a similar Ithaca College currency for buying food, would be accepted at the restaurant.
The Sun interviewed Vice President Ryan Lombardi about how the University tried to account for dietary preferences, sustainability and student well-being in its dining contingency plans throughout the UAW Local 2300 strike.
