Daphne Budin had never eaten non-kosher meat before coming to Syracuse University.
But because of the limited options in SU’s dining halls, Budin, a sophomore human development and family science major, has since started eating meat that isn’t kosher. Most dining halls don’t serve kosher foods, and Budin’s allergies can make finding suitable options even harder.
“When I would go into the dining hall, there were just not so many options,” Budin said. “It kind of just became a routine that I started to eat ‘unkosher’ meat.”

Syracuse University Food Services has used plastic utensils and bags in dining halls throughout the pandemic, which has made it more challenging to enhance sustainability on campus.
Since dining halls have been operating with takeout-only options, Food Services began offering plastic bags to students to carry their food, said Mark Tewksbury, the director of dining centers and concessions operations in the Carrier Dome.
