Why doesn't Dining Services handle concessions?

Is there even a "Dining Services" now? Doesn't the outsourced company Chartwells handle that now?

Dining Services no longer exists.

Chartwells operates the food services at BGSU.

Ok...why don't we have dining services?

Ok...why don't we have dining services?

I worked with Dining Services in 2008 on a project and they had expressed concerns of the division being outsourced, which obviously happened. From what I gathered that year, most of it had to do with simply eliminating staff due to the budgetary issues. My guess is the university is saving money by contracting a company like Chartwells than having to hire and pay full and part-time to work within the Dining Services division.

Yes. Big savings.

Also, dining services once ran the concessions. Things, I believe, were actually worse back then, if you can believe that. The only difference was things were cheaper.

I wanted to follow up and say that I received a personal email back from Chris Kingston. He assured me that there is no rule prohibiting chairbacks. He also asked for Joe's address so he can reach out to him.

I have to say, I am impressed. I can't imagine the previous administration giving a falcon flock what the fans thought. It is a breath of fresh air!

Outstanding to hear that he responded so well and so quickly!!
