[null and void]

OUTSOURCE the feeding of these students....sheesh....sounds like a good idea to me....convert the cafeteria into classrooms.

It will only work if Nguyen give them a cut.

Money. That's the real issue.

Money. That's the real issue.

The cafeteria gets reimbursed from the Feds for each meal that they serve to students. Actually at different rates depending of family income, but still on all students.
A cafeteria is supposed to be self-sufficient, but profits go to the general fund.
You are right. It is all about the money.
When I was a senior, I believe I may have eaten at least one meal in the cafeteria, but not many more.
