Fort Hays State University\u2019s Student Government Association hosted its annual Fall Open Forum in Cody Commons on Tuesday to update students on campus facilities and services, take questions, and address student concerns. The forum was moderated by SGA Legislative Affairs Director Grace McCord, while the panel consisted of Union Catering Company Owner Phillip Kuhn, Student Body President Jackson Sinsel, Residential Life Director RJ Schnack, Drug and Alcohol Counselor Bob Duffy and Faculty Senate President Matthew Clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first question regarded the increase in lunch prices on campus and its impact on usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have to cover these costs with inflated prices we see,\u201d Kuhn said. \u201cThere was a 4.6% increase in what we charge for the products. Those are all high-dollar items to begin with, so that\u2019s why we did the increase. But we haven\u2019t seen less usage. We\u2019ve seen the same dollar amount come across on a weekly basis, and as far as dining dollars, there hasn\u2019t been a decrease.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
