According to a May 4^th article in VegOUT, UCLA has committed to serving plant-based ingredients for half of meal servings by 2027.  The University claims advantages in both health and sustainability, neither of which is scientifically supported.

During recent years, it is apparent that HSUS has conducted a coercive campaign aimed at food service companies with contracts to supply dining halls of universities.  Some providers including Sodexo with affiliations to the E.U. have independently adopted policies of transition to vegetable-based protein that is effectively less nutritious and more expensive than animal-derived products.  Given that most students operate according to a meal plan, the additional cost is either borne by parents or is added to student loans.
