Short Description:
A survey on dining satisfaction at Yale University yields general recommendations about menus and meal options. Among these findings, students said they would like more vegetables, and meat and poultry entrees. Dishes ranking low in popularity include vegetarian and vegan entrees, as well as ethnic foods.
Abstract:
This survey by the Yale Daily news was conducted after Yale's dining services refused to publish the complete results of its own dining satisfaction survey. While the survey addressed many of the logistics concerning on campus dining as well as the facility-related concerns, respondents also indicated that they would like to see more vegetables, and meat and poultry entrees. More than one-third (36%) of respondents said that they would like to have fewer vegetarian and vegan entrees, as well as ethnic foods on school menus.
School officials note that vegan options are less popular than vegetarian options, and that it is difficult to produce appealing vegan menu items for the approximate 1% of Yale students who follow a vegan diet.
