Percentage of total dining services food purchases comprised of conventionally produced animal products:
A brief description of the methodology used to track/inventory expenditures on animal products:
Currently, expenditures on animal products are not tracked or inventoried. However, the Executive Chef of the dining program did a cursory review of previous purchases and made assumptions based on purchase patterns. We then took the more conservative estimate and included that number in the above question.
Does the institution offer diverse, complete-protein vegan dining options at all meals in at least one dining facility on campus?:
Does the institution provide labels and/or signage that distinguishes between vegan, vegetarian (not vegan), and other items?:
Are the vegan options accessible to all members of the campus community?:
A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
As the dining service is part of the Culinary curriculum and menus are constantly changing, menu items are not labeled; however the kitchen will accommodate customers upon request.
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
