It doesn\u2019t apply to orders placed in the cafeteria or other catering establishments on campus. Up till now, the campus caterer Vitam included a variety of fillings like cold meats and cheese as a standard part of its lunch deliveries. While Vitam also offered vegetarian and vegan options, these needed to be specified beforehand on the order. This arrangement has now been reversed.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Setting a new standard<\/h2><p>Recently appointed Rector Magnificus Rutger Engels applauded the initiative during the final University Council meeting of this academic year. \u201cIt may seem like a minor change, but it actually sets a new standard. Future generations of students in Rotterdam will learn that the normal option is vegetarian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The University Council borrowed the idea of introducing vegetarian lunches from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/2018\/03\/19\/erasmus-school-of-economics-gaat-veganistisch-lunchen\/\">Erasmus School of Economics<\/a>. At ESE, they have even taken things a step further. There, behavioural economist Jan Stoop successfully argued for making <em>vegan<\/em>\u00a0lunches the norm unless explicitly requested otherwise. The other faculties won\u2019t be taking it that far: this move couldn\u2019t count on widespread support within the University Council.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mixed feelings<\/h2><p>In a comment by e-mail, Jan Stoop says he has mixed feelings about the initiative of the university to introduce vegetarian meals by default. \u201cOn the one hand, it is a step in the right direction to reduce meat consumption. On the other hand, I think it is a missed opportunity. Vegetarian food causes a much greater burden on the environment than vegan food. Why wouldn\u2019t EUR go for a maximal impact? Caterer Vitam has proven to serve very tasty vegan food, so I will continue to enjoy it at the ESE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2
