Following a recent NYC Health food inspection of Ferris Booth Commons, the directorship of Columbia Dining was last seen pouring through their Health Standards syllabus to see if their end-of-year grade would be curved based on other colleges’ performances.
The internal mood of the department has reportedly been one of frustration and sadness. Columbia Dining, which recently ranked #22 on Princeton Review’s ranking of college cafeterias, was disappointed after receiving their grade back on NYC Health’s canvas page, with one director reportedly throwing their phone onto their bed in anger after checking his Assignment Graded notification.
One anonymous official claimed that not curving up their health inspection grade would be an injustice considering how much effort they put into their food. Speaking to a Federalist reporter, he said “Come on, everyone gets a B now and then – what’s so bad about wanting to make sure that we aren’t being judged too harshly for doing just as well as our peers?”
All hope is not lost, however. If Columbia Dining can study up for the final and ace the rest of their “Is it Edible” problem sets, an A- or even an A may still be possible even without curving. To accommodate this change, the Ferris pizza table will be replaced by a stack of flash cards for employees to study during work hours.
To make sure their next test has a bit higher chance of success before inspection, Lerner Hall will reportedly no longer allow any guests with city employee IDs to enter the building unless they check in a day in advance.
