UChicago students vote to ignore food-justice activists, keep dining services they like

University of Chicago student government representatives are more worried about a food fight with their constituents than the societal problem of mass incarceration.

The General Assembly voted down a resolution to ask the university to bring dining in-house so that it avoids any complicity in the “prison-industrial complex,” and to source more food from local vendors.

It’s another setback for student group The Fight for Just Food (FJF), which staged a fruitless 24-hour hunger strike to convince the university to not hire Bon Appetit after UChicago ended its contract with Aramark.
