USG worked hard last year with the LAIS language department to stop certain language classes from being cut. Unfortunately there was a lack of enrollment for some of these classes and the funding moved elsewhere in the LAIS department.
If you feel that the language program should be added to in the future, and not cut, please make a new post and get people to vote for it. USG will fight for you if you show there is a need.

We asked Mines dining about why Subway closes at the times it does and they responded by telling us that they monitor how many people come into Subway at a time. Since not as many people frequent Subway as the other dining locations they felt it was in the student’s best interest to close it earlier because if it was open longer and more often it would raise the overall Meal Plan costs for all of the other students. So since, it is not as frequented as other establishments it’s not open as long because it is not cost effective to keep it open for longer. If you feel strongly about this matter and are okay with potentially raising the costs, feel free to email us or come stop by our office hours!
Sincerely,

USG has engaged in a conversation with Sodexo about the meal exchanges. We are looking into the contract with them to see if we are able to bring them back. We will keep you updated as we work on this.
You can also attend the Food Committee Meeting on Friday at 12pm in Mines Market to voice this concern.
UPDATE
USG has been able to extend hours at Mines Market, but not yet bring back meal exchanges. Thant is something we will continue to work toward for next school year.

We agree with Jess Zielinski, but we have also informed SRC of this.

This is ridiculous in my opinion. I understand that languages are not the primary focus of this school, but being bilingual is extremely useful in many industries! What's more, we have tons of international students here as well, and would really benefit from being able to learn their language. (Although that's a whole different story, why there's no Chinese program at this school is beyond me)
