THE SENATE	S.R. NO.	34
THIRTIETH LEGISLATURE, 2020
STATE OF HAWAII

SENATE RESOLUTION

 

 

Requesting the University of Hawaii to explore an optional dining program for residence hall students.

 

 

     WHEREAS, the University of Hawaii requires mandatory participation in the dining program for residence hall students; and

 

     WHEREAS, any residence hall student who fails to comply with the dining requirements is subject to termination of their student housing services contract; and

 

     WHEREAS, dietary restrictions are not grounds for exemption from a dining plan; and

 

     WHEREAS, instead of allowing these residence hall students to have an optional meal plan, they must seek out alternate housing; and

 

     WHEREAS, campus dining plans add to the already high cost of attending the University of Hawaii; and

 

     WHEREAS, students who reside in residence halls should be given the option whether they wish to participate in the dining program or not, similar to apartment residents, without being forced to seek out alternative housing arrangements; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Thirtieth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2020, that the University of Hawaii is requested to explore an optional dining program for students residing in residence hall students; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Resolution be transmitted to the President of the University of Hawaii, Chairperson of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents, and President of the Associated Students of the University of Hawaii.
