Harvard University Dining Services Executive Director Ted A. Mayer pointed out the weaknesses of different proposals to bring hot breakfast back to the Houses at an Undergraduate Council meeting on Monday.
Closing the current HUDS deficit of $781,000 would require an increase in student board costs by 4.9 percent, Mayer said. Board fees only went up by 3.8 percent from last year to this year, and HUDS was forced to tap its $2.5 million in reserves.
Though the hot breakfast cuts have saved $900,000, HUDS has considered various plans to reinstate hot breakfast, Mayer said. But most suggestions have been “nickels and dimes—they don’t really have an impact.”
“You just keep shaving away any time that there is an opportunity to do so,” he said. “We’re pretty bare bones right now.”
