Does the institution have a trayless dining program in which trays are removed from or not available in dining halls?:
A brief description of the trayless dining program:
In the late 1970’s, HSU Dining Services switched to an “a la carte” system during the academic year in an effort to reduce food waste. While trayless systems help reduce waste for “all you can eat” establishments, HSU Dining Services has found that an a la carte system yields a similar reduction in food waste. Students are able to purchase only the food they wish to eat- there’s no pressure to “get their money’s worth” by selecting more than they can realistically eat.
However, during the Summer Conference season, HSU Dining Services switches to a buffet system for conference guests. During the summer 2012 Conference Season, HSU Dining Services adopted a trayless policy for all meals served.
