CATERING FOR CULTURAL EVENTS OR SPECIAL NEEDS EVENTS
Adopted March 14, 2002

GENERAL STATEMENT
Occasionally event sponsors request cultural food items or special preparation methods that are not available through Foundation Catering. The Union, working collaboratively with the Foundation, will try to address the sponsor’s catering needs in a fair and equitable manner.

GUDIELINES AND PROCEDURES:
When this occurs the event sponsor is asked to submit to the Union Arrangements Coordinator a written request listing all of the food items desired along with a recipe for each item. The Arrangements Coordinator will review this list with the Foundation Catering Manager and Production Manager for approval and pricing. If Foundation Catering is unable to provide all or most of the items requested, a letter from the Director of Dining Services will give written permission to the event sponsor to hire an outside catering company for that specific event only. The catering contractor must be licensed and insured, and must prepare all food off-site.
