SGB addressed student concerns about the new Pitt Eats meal exchanges and announced plans to work with Pitt Eats at their weekly meeting in Nordy\u2019s Place on Sept. 15.<\/p>\n
Students have raised concerns with SGB over the affordability of some of the new Pitt Eats meal exchange options<\/a>, along with difficulties in substituting for allergen-friendly options. SGB and Pitt Eats plan to address these concerns by soon hearing from students directly in a town hall.<\/p>\n Pitt Eats established new student meal plans<\/a> for the 2026-2027 academic year with the goal of improving convenience and flexibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new Meal Exchange program replaces $12 meal swaps with meal combinations designed with no specific price. Other meal plan changes include options that allot students a certain number of meals each semester or each week, redeemable at any time.<\/p>\n President Evan Levasseur said members of SGB met with Pitt Eats<\/a> and Chartwells<\/a> on Friday to address potential problems with the new meal plans.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe brought up a lot of student concerns about the affordability of meal plans and the accessibility, and how some of the allergen concerns are not covered under the meal exchange program,\u201d Levasseur said. \u201cThey talked about updating their software to include those now, and also expanding their current options.\u201d<\/p>\n A recently published SGB survey<\/a> allows Pitt students to share specific items and combinations they would like to see in the updated meal exchange program.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Levasseur, SGB and Pitt Eats are planning to co-host a town hall where students can share their feedback on the current meal plan.<\/p>\n In other news, Levasseur said SGB met with Pitt Police this week to discuss whether Flock cameras are on campus. According to a statement<\/a> published by SGB after the meeting, Pitt Police reaffirmed its lack of affiliation with Flock and denied the presence of the company\u2019s technology on campus.<\/p>\n
