But this year, amid a host of problems, the popularity of the gray-panelled, light-festooned Loker has undeniably waned. As a result, Loker has experienced a reduction of operating hours, a cut back in employees, slightly raised prices and a massive reassessment of services.
The change in operating hours was particularly upsetting to some students, who last year had called for an extension of hours--not a reduction.
The reduction would have cost workers up to $700 more each year in premiums and would save the University about $200,000, according to the Union.
But on Feb. 14, after months of protesting, HUCTW and the University inked an agreement to halt the reduction of part-time worker health benefits for another year.
Professor of Sociology Mary C. Waters, a member of the Faculty Council subcommittee on summas, says that the policy changes will not translate into a definite reduction in summas totals.
