After the renovation of the cafeterias on the RUG (University of Groningen) campus, voices of students around campus have excess their discontent with the deteriorated quality (and quantity) of food, as well as the increased prices. A cappuccino is now served in cups labelled "Espresso" in the C-bar in the Harmony Cafeteria, with a higher price than the previous cappuccino. In addition, the removal of the discount for coffee when bringing own, reusable cups, the disposable containers for noodles in the YamYam corner, as well as the removal of reusable bowls for soup in certain cafeterias are only examples of where the promotion of sustainability falls short, too.
We, the undersigned, call on the University of Groningen and the Beijk catering provider, among others, to take action against the increased prices, decreased quality and quantity of the new University cafeterias on campus, as a result of dissatisfaction among students and employees at the University. Furthermore, we call on the University of Groningen and the Beijk catering provider, among others, to ensure that our cafeterias should provide affordable options for students, with the minimum quality and quantity offered in the previous cafeteria system. In addition, we call upon the University of Groningen and the Beijk catering provider, among others, to promote sustainability by promoting less disposable, and more reusable material, such as cups, as well as continuing the promotion of sustainability by providing a discount for those who bring their own reusable cups, instead of using disposable ones.
