Woody Woo "free" food not actually so free

Woody Woo’s food coffers might not be as limitless as we once thought. Or, the school may just be trying to break another echelon of selectivity in light of the comprehensive review it’s undergoing.

An e-mail sent to school’s undergraduate listserv last Monday scolded the budding private consultants and I-Bankers for their lack of self-control around displays of free food:

"Regarding food for events at Robertson Hall- Students can’t have food until the organizer says they can have it. Two different events this past week had students taking food even when the organizer said it wasn’t available. One student in particular walked along the table poking their finger in the food after being told no."

Now, we know we’re trying to teach you how to live on the cheap, but this might be taking it a little too far.

To be fair, the sender even sounds a little uncomfortable with the e-mail, saying: “I have no idea if they were our students but I was asked to let you know.” (Read: A disgruntled Woody Woo rejectee with an ax to grind.)

So, independents, it might be best to look elsewhere until this blows over. We checked -- Point's got your back on this one.

(Full e-mail with even more scolding after the jump.)

Dear Students,

The Administrator of the Robertson Hall Business and Facilities office asked me to send the below message to all Undergraduate students.

Regarding food for events at Robertson Hall- Students can’t have food until the organizer says they can have it. Two different events this past week had students taking food even when the organizer said it wasn’t available. One student in particular walked along the table poking their finger in the food after being told no.

The other thing is the doors on Washington Road were found propped open early Saturday morning. Probably from Friday night. Fortunately nothing was taken and no damage was done to the building. Students must remember that when they see doors propped open they need to close them. It not only keeps the building safe but it also keeps them safe.

Your cooperation is much appreciated.
