Trayless Kimball Postponed

To the members of the Holy Cross Community,

I have good news to report this evening. The decision to remove trays from Upper Kimball dining hall has been postponed. Originally slated to occur after Winter Break, the decision was made to go trayless after Columbus Day. Thanks to our efforts on the Senate, the efforts of Kelly and Ed our Co-Presidents, and especially Melissa Ogonowski, the SGA Director of Environmental concerns, the decision was made to postpone the switch.

Ogonowski exposed the rhetoric behind the administration's environmental argument in favor of removing trays and suggested that removing trays will have no environmental benefits. This reveals the flawed economic motive of the College in removing trays. There are a number of other suggestions to improve the College's "environmental footprint" without removing trays. As a result, the College has decided to explore all options before removing trays.
