Students demand food security measures in petition to Mills
Around 10 students from NYU’s chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists of America gathered at Bobst Library on Monday to deliver a petition addressed to NYU president Linda Mills, calling on the university to implement new food security initiatives.
The suggested initiatives in the petition, which garnered over 170 signatures, include that NYU offer free meal plans to food-insecure students and those in households making less than $100,000 per year. YDSA is also requesting that NYU publicize details regarding its revenue from meal plans and create departmental and residential food pantries in every building.
