Allow Indiana Memorial Union Dining Services to be purchased via Meal Plan, I-Bucks, and Flex Bucks

Allow Indiana Memorial Union Dining Services to be purchased via Meal Plan, I-Bucks, and Flex Bucks

The Issue

Currently, the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) offers a variety of food and beverage services which thousands of students desire.  However, for inexplicable reasons, these services can only be purchased via cash, credit card, debit card, or Campus Access.  Campus Access is essentially a debit card where students can deposit cash to use for certain services both on IU's campus and at local establishments in the city of Bloomington.  

The IMU is the most popular place on campus for students to study, relax, meet, and unwind.  Many times, students spend several hours in the IMU.  With all students living in a residence hall required to purchase a meal plan, it is inexplicable for the dining services at a location on IU's campus to not be available for purchase with the required meal plan.  Several students do not purchase food and drinks in the IMU because they must spend additional money to the meal plan they currently hold.

RPS Dining Services, I am asking you directly to allow all food and beverage services in the IMU available for purchase via meal plan money.

This is addressing a common reoccurring theme I’ve also heard for the last 2 years. I encourage students and their parents to speak out about the quality of life they desire while at IUB.
