Unsafe food, E. coli, and contamination are consistent hazards in public university dining halls, where students risk their health daily. While recently elected student leaders, like those in Ducsu, are attempting to enforce hygiene standards, their efforts are institutionally blocked. The Ducsu constitution’s structural flaws and the administration’s criticism leave student welfare handicapped. Reforming the constitution is crucial to empower student bodies to ensure safe and hygienic meals for thousands of residents, ending this long-standing public health crisis.
