UCSB SWIPES FULL

I couldn’t afford a meal plan this year because of how expensive they are,” Ferguson said in Wednesday’s meeting. “As a lower-income, first-generation, queer college student, I understand the struggles of not knowing when your next meal may come sometimes. Students who choose to live in the dorms are mandated to buy a meal plan, the cost of which is added in with their housing expenses.

“In order to make full use of student meal plans, there needs to be amendments to how meal plan swipes can be used, by whom, and when they expire,” the resolution reads.Īdditionally, the resolution states that students with 17 meal swipes per week or fewer should be able to swipe guests into the dining commons with their own meal swipes, rather than be charged a $12 fee for each guest.Īccording to the UCSB Housing website, a standard 14 meals per week costs $1,532 per quarter. The proposal, as detailed in the resolution, would allow meal swipes to be used throughout the quarter rather than expire each Sunday after dinner. In Ferguson and Mitchell’s resolution, the two argue that meal swipes should expire at the end of each quarter, rather than each week. This set number of swipes expires at the end of each week and cannot be used for the weeks following. Students who live in the university dorms pay for a certain number of “meal swipes” to use each week at the dining commons. The resolution was authored by Off-Campus Senator Tyler Ferguson and College of Creative Studies Senator Daniel Mitchell. The Senate unanimously approved a resolution that supports the rolling over of leftover meal plan swipes at the end of each week.
