No beef, milk or pork in staff lunches paid for by the university is a first step towards the goal of a vegan campus, which is supposed to be achieved by 2030. While some think it’s a great way to help the environment, others believe it deprives the university community of a choice.
The new policy affects only EUR staff. There’s a general agreement among staff that vegan lunches are a great initiative, especially when it comes to official events, says Guido Berens, an assistant professor at the RSM.
