Over 100 students, faculty and parents gathered on the campus of Nassau Community College Monday after food services ceased at the campus last week.
The cafeteria, café and campus Starbucks were all shut down after negotiations between the college and food vendor broke down, with the vendor declining to serve the campus through the end of the semester.
This has left students with limited options for food such as vending machines, or dining apps such as Uber Eats or DoorDash.
Students say they need on-campus food due to their schedule and are calling for the services to be restored immediately.
