...Application Case 17-1: Campus Food Systems Cindy Breen is a new intern at a small self-operated food service program called Campus Food Systems(CFS). She has been tasked to prepare the Work Accidents in the Food Service Areas Report for the previous year. Cindy’s supervisor Jake has asked her to minimize the quantity and severity of the safety/health incidents that CFS has had over the last year. After reviewing the alternatives on how to handle this situation, Cindy should “prepare the report including all incident reports, previously unreported accidents, and Rick’s serious illness” (Ivancevich, 2010, p. 565). Then she needs to give the complete report to Fred White, CFS director and Jake’s supervisor (Ivancevich, 2010). Jake’s request to make the report’s statistics appear better than the truth creates an ethical challenge for Cindy. Jake suggested that her report will have an effect on her grade and future job recommendation. Regardless of this, Cindy needs to act with integrity and submit an honest report. According to Title 29 of the United States Code, Section 666 there are: criminal penalties for any person who knowingly makes a false statement, representation, or certification in any application, record, report, plan or other document filed, required to be filed, or required to be maintained pursuant to the Occupational Safety and Health Act (Hagen). Considering that the report will be forwarded to both state and Occupational Safety and Health Administration...

...Pollan gives up meat for a while, inspired by an argument of Peter Singer: "No one in the habit of eating an animal can be completely without bias in judging whether the conditions in which that animal is reared cause suffering" (312). Yet he identifies himself as "a reluctant and, I fervently hoped, temporary vegetarian" (313), so it's not at all clear that the experiment does anything to lessen his bias. As a vegetarian, Pollan struggles with the social ramifications of eating differently. He points out that "my new dietary restrictions throw a big wrench into the basic host-guest relationship" (313) and decides, "I'm inclined to agree with the French, who gaze upon any personal dietary prohibition as bad manners" (313). Yet he'll find himself able to justify only a very limited kind of meat-eating, which likewise represents a "personal dietary prohibition." He then proceeds to discuss his alienation from traditions like the Passover brisket, apparently not allowing for the possibility that traditions might evolve over time. This rigid view of tradition is an odd one considering his plans to hunt an unkosher pig. Pollan then moves on to a discussion of animal rights philosophy. He claims to be debating Peter Singer, but he'll quote Matthew Scully when it better suits his point, never acknowledging any significant difference between the writers. Other times, he'll just quote Singer out of context. Pollan eventually argues for meat-eating on the grounds that it serves the...

...generated off campus. Carbon reductions are actions to lower carbon emissions generated on campus. In addition to all of the individual student proposals that all offset or reduce CO2 emissions in their own unique way, there are a number of projects being proposed to the campus as well as a number of projects already in place on University grounds that offset or reduce CO2 emissions that the university is responsible for generating directly or indirectly. There is a fine line between offsets and reductions and it is important to understand the difference. In order to discuss offsets, it is important to understand why people make CO2 offsets. There are a number of various carbon emissions that are unavoidable at this point in time due to societal structure like dependence on fossil fuels for transportation and some of the University’s utility use. Until major societal change occurs, like the removal of our dependence on fossil fuel and a total jump to renewable energy for our utility and transportation needs. Students, faculty and staff that commute to campus emit unavoidable CO2 emissions on a daily. Total wind purchase from the utility company does not offset the effects of natural gas use for heating (water and living space) and cooking preparation needs. To counteract these emissions the campus can continue to support carbon offsetting project like * Sustainable Garden- Continues to grow and expand providing the campus with nutritious organically grown food from a local...

...EVALUATION: Attendance 30% Final Assignment 70% Total 100% Case 1/4 BSB, INC.: The Pizza Wars Come to Campus Renee Kershaw, manager of food services at a medium-sized private university in the Southeast, has just had the wind taken out of her sails. She had decided that, owing to the success of her year-old pizza service, the time had come to expand pizza-making operations on campus. However, yesterday the university president announced plans to begin construction of a student center on campus that would house, among other facilities, a new food court. In a departure from past university policy, this new facility would permit and accommodate food-service operations from three private organizations: Dunkin’ Donuts, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut. Until now, all food service on campus had been contracted out to BSB, Inc. CAMPUS FOOD SERVICE BSB, Inc., is a large, nationally operated food-services company serving client organizations. The level of service provided varies, depending on the type of market being served and the particular contract specifications. The company is organized into three market-oriented divisions: corporate,...

...2011 The main purpose of this study was to explore the degree of university residence hall students’ preferences for some facilities and amenities. With a case study of a developing country, this paper also aimed to determine whether the mean score of these preferences differed significantly with regard to students’ gender, nationality, race and study level. Structured questionnaires were administrated to 850 residence hall students, and 752 questionnaires were usable out of these numbers. The result of the study indicated that free internet access, lockable storage space and mirror inside student’s room, water machine and variety of food in food stall were the 5 most preferred facilities in the residence halls. Additionally, this study highlighted the importance of some specific facilities such as kitchen, laundry monitoring system and 24 h available taxi from students’ perspective. It was found that students had a great interest to these facilities as well. The research further uncovered a significant difference among male and female students, race and study level on their degree of preferences. Undergraduates, Chinese, and female students reported greatest preferences for all types of facilities and amenities. No significant difference was found in the preference mean scores of students from different nationalities. Key...

...upcoming university. With that being said, it is still in the process of improvement and setting roots to become one of the strongest universities out here. One of the ways of improvement is to have a good dining system. Sadly, the location of the university is quite far from the city and no near restaurants to make it easier for the girls to go out and have a proper meal. So, it’s a struggle for the girls of PMU to find alternative restaurants than the one that is currently provided on campus. In this study, it shows how opening Chili’s at PMU can be beneficial. Students can be more focused and productive due to having a proper meal. Chili’s is a highly known restaurant, especially in Saudi. Having chili’s on campus would make their lives easier and would look make them happier to see that the university is listening to what they wants and coming up with solutions to make all students happy. My expectation about this study is to help PMU improve their system and show them how this study can be beneficial for the university not only for the students, but also can be profitable. Literature Review During my research, I found a similar case in the University of Western Sydney when they open a restaurant in Parramatta campus. They claim that opening a restaurant on campus, it is a perfect place for corporate lunches or catching up with friends. In our case, this shows that opening a Chili’s could be very beneficial for students who want to catch or even instructor’s that would like...

Local vendors available to stock the shop’s supplies will need to be contacted and interviewed for maximizing profits and efficiency. The group will use selected strategies in its research process, gathering data, one sampling at a time, to build the information base that is needed to continue with the research design. Location is the first topic of discussion. The significance of choosing a location can be critical. Certainly, a shop next to or across the street from a popular site may not be the best choice. The owners will need to take a look at differences in taxes on and off campus and see if there are any programs the school offers if the shop is on campus. The variables used to define these topics are availability of real estate on campus, population of potential customers, age, income levels, etc. Also with having an option of having...

...many problems like many of my peers. If I had to name a few then the problems which I have experienced are housing facility, food and dining service, transportation, general education subjects, exorbitant tuition fees for international students, and cumulative final examinations on same day. The housing facility is decent but the rooms are very small. Sometimes the floor is very noisy especially on the weekends when partygoers are drunk and wild and creating a nuisance. The kitchen facility is not very good in the residence halls and hence cooking is difficult which makes the student dependent on the food and dining service which is expensive especially if you come from a country whose currency is 60 times weaker than the currency here. The rooms could be made bigger and with well-equipped kitchens. The meal plan system cost over $2,000 a semester and you get the same food with hardly 3-4 options of cuisines. Despite such a heavy meal plan charge students hardly get great delicious food. Cheaper and wider variety of food can be offered. The transportation facility is also poor at times as buses are full most of the times and many time buses don’t stop at all. I have stayed on campus during my first semester and then moved off campus. We do have a UB bus stop near our off campus housing building but it is situated between the north and the south campus and hence we have to take the...

...Waste Management at a College Campus Abhilash Krishna, Krishna Nandanan, Pradeep Kumar S.S. and Srihari K.S. Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore, India. Abstract This paper examines the technical, economic and environmental aspects of the waste management techniques practiced at an educational campus in South India. It encompasses the entire spectrum of waste collection, segregation, reuse, recycle, incineration and landfill. An in-depth analysis of this process has been done as it helps to both emulate and improve this complex yet essential practice. The study involves interaction with people directly associated with this process by which a clear understanding of the technical and management aspect of the entire process can be obtained. It has also provided a substantial amount of raw data regarding the amount and types of waste generated, labour, cost and other related aspects. Appropriate suggestions and justifications had been put forth to improve the efficiency of the system. Keywords: Bio-degradable waste, compost, non bio-degradable waste, waste management. 1. Introduction A sample population of 8000 people in a 450-acre college campus had been considered. The college campus is located in a nondescript village in South India. In such a populous community, generation of large amount of wastes is not surprising. Waste generated here varies from paper, plastic, cloth, glass to food, construction, hospital and...

...fee, of paying for laundry. In order to solve this ghastly problem the school should either include free use of all laundry facilities or have a fee set into the tuition and fees bill so we do not have to deal with the hassle of change or putting money on our Warhawk express account. The cost of attendance here at the University of Louisiana at Monroe is $19,546, and that is if you are a resident of Louisiana staying on campus. For students who are out of state or international staying on campus the cost of attendance is $31,646. After paying that substantial amount of money to attend school for just one year, this school expects us to administer a tad bit more money just to wash and dry our clothes. In my residential dormitory, Commons I, there are three washing machines and three dryers on my floor. The washing machine costs $1.25 a load and the dryer is the same. The washer has a set time of 26 minutes. The dryer’s set time is an hour. The first problem with these machines is the fact they cost to use. Unless you are a student who lives in the campus apartments, or you know someone who lives in the apartments, you...
