Syracuse University has relocated food service workers to open cafes and to restaurants in its newly-renovated Schine Student Center. But some workers still have concerns about how the changes could impact public health.
The university has closed several campus cafes and significantly reduced hours at others as sales drop amid the pandemic. In the fall, closures, reduced hours and limited offerings at some cafes meant other food locations on campus were inundated with students, workers said. And when employees thought they might have come in contact with the virus, SU’s policies sometimes left them in the dark about what to do next, they said.
