Outsourcing at UC Davis

by E Wayne Ross on April 21, 2008

Inside Higher Ed: The University of California at Davis last week announced a new approach to the outsourcing of its food service operations — a source of controversy and protests on the campus. Under the new policy, Sodexo will continue manage the food operations. But about 175 to 200 non-managerial employees and several hundred student employees will over time become University of California employees, rather than Sodexo employees. Critics at Davis and elsewhere have said that outsourcing has the impact of denying those who work on campus the benefits and job protections offered to campus employees.
