In ‘08, Steele Runs on Transparency, Foodservice
This article isn’t available online for some reason, so I had to look in the University archives to find it. Tim Horton’s was mentioned breifly towards the end as something he would be looking into the option of. I’m disappointed that even from the getgo the ASU exec seemed pegged on bringing in restaurant chains seemingly without considering a community operated approach. Also note Steele’s pledge for transparency in the ASU. Since I had to type this up myself, there’s only two quotes. You’ll have to look in the university archives yourself (Volume 70 issue 14) to find more about his platform, including looking into Radio Acadia, a Mac Computer lab in the Michner Lounge and others.
Building on transparency, I propose the ASU President gives a monthly presentation to the student body at large. This would promote person to person interaction allow for students to ask question in person, and get immediate answers, as well as keeping the student body consistently informed on the issues that matter. These talks would be recorded and put on the ASU website for those who may have missed them.
…Chartwells has taken their monopoly on campus food service for granted, and I am committed to doing something about it. If elected, I will be looking into the option of a buy-out of Chartwells in the SUB, with ideas of replacing them with private retailers such as Tim Horton’s and a more popular restaurant chain.
