Due to staffing shortages University of Rochester closes dining hall, offers refunds
Rochester, New York — The University of Rochester offered a 20 percent refund to students enrolled in a meal plan after temporarily closed some dining locations and due to what the university calls “unprecedented” staffing shortages.
Among the changes: students can use their declining balance dollars through the Grubhub app for a limited time, the university is bringing food trucks to the campus from 7 p.m. – 10 p.m.
Mondays-Thursdays, Danforth has closed, and a number of other facilities have amended hours of operation in order to maximize staffing efficiency.
“We are continuing to explore all options and resources to provide new food options and variety to our students,” said Cam Schauf, director of campus dining services and auxiliary operations. “Our priority is ensuring all of our students have access to ample food choices as we actively work on hiring new staff, including student workers. We will evaluate each dining operation as we hire new employees.”
According to the university officials, refunds will be processed by the end of October. Students enrolled in a meal plan will receive a 20 percent refund of the full cost of the plan.
