WHEREAS, The Associated Students Government of Chaffey College and San Bernardino Valley Student Senate recognize and acknowledge that there is a miniscule amount of healthy nutritional alternatives on campus dining area(s) for student with dietary restrictions;
WHEREAS, The Chaffey College and San Bernardino Valley College dining areas dietary options for students with food restrictions are not accommodating the needs of the students. It is of the utmost importance that students can access healthy/ nutritious meal options at their own campuses such as: vegan, non-gmo, gluten free, halal, and kosher, etc.; and
WHEREAS, The Chaffey College and San Bernardino Valley College dining areas healthy/ nutritious food alternatives can be much more costly than process food (hamburgers, fries, pizza, etc). The high cost of healthy food options creates unequal access to students with food restrictions;
RESOLVED, that all the Associated Student Governments in California's community college should require administration to amend dining area(s) food alternatives to include dietary meals that are inclusive to the needs of students. Such dietary options include but are not limited to: vegan, non-gmo, gluten free, halal, and kosher, etc;
RESOLVED, that the Student Senate for California Community colleges form a task force to work with college administrations and ASOs to have affordable food alternatives for students with dietary restrictions; and
RESOLVED, that the SSCCC provide information on alternative source to all ASOs.
