University creates team to monitor Sodexo

The University of Vermont has created a team to evaluate foodservice provider Sodexo’s progress on meeting goals outlined in its recent contract, The Vermont Cynic has learned.

The Dining Implementation Team—led by Dennis DePaul, UVM’s assistant dean for business operations—will meet monthly to discuss the food vendor’s progress on its goals, which include delivering more lower-priced and locally sourced foods.
