Chartwells May Terminate KSU Contract

Chartwells has submitted a letter to Kansas State University Student Union Director Bill Smriga stating its intention to terminate its contract unless it is restructured, reports the K-State Collegian student paper. Chartwells, which operates retail venues across the K-State campus under a deal signed 18 months ago, claims "substantial financial losses operating the K-State food service program" as its reason for withdrawing from the deal unless it is renegotiated. Both parties have the right to terminate the agreement with a 90-day notice.
