Starting next semester, the campus dining halls will dose at 8 p.m. instead of ID p.m. One
reason for this change is that too few students visit the dining halls in the late evening.
Over the last year, the cafeterias were busiest between 5 and 6 p.m. Next, the university
hopes to save money by closing the dining halls earlier. The president of the university
has said that he hopes to invest the money saved from paying late-shift workers on
renovating the on-campus dining facilities.
