We reported several weeks ago that Sodexho will allow some mandatory J Street funds to be carried over from year to year. That article also touched on some possible venue changes discussed with campus leaders at a meeting in the Hippodrome.

Though announcements about dining changes are often released during the summer, details about next year should become public by next week. Executive Vice President and Treasurer Lou Katz said the University has been pushing the food service provider to finalize everything before the end of the academic year. A public meeting about the 2008-2009 dining lineup is scheduled for May 1, he said.

In addition to consulting student and University leaders, Sodexho issued an e-mail survey last month that yielded more than 2,000 responses. One of the most likely additions to the venue is a kosher dining option.
