Comments (The ASUC Store Operations Board voted down an official lease agreement with the fast-food chain Panda Express at their meeting tonight.
The vote was 5-4, with ASUC President Roxanne Winston, Executive Vice President Krystle Pasco, UCPD Chief Victoria Harrison, graduate student representative Alberto Ortega and Assistant Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Barbara Davis voting against the deal.
Store Operations Board Chair Jordan Smith, Co-Chair Dave Rhoads, graduate student representative Nish Rajan and Associate Vice Chancellor for Business and Administrative Services Ron Coley voted for it.
The contract needed a majority approval to pass.
Despite tonight's decision, negotiations to bring Panda Express to campus will likely continue. The board has said it may consider a new proposal at their next meeting if the chain addresses student concerns.
