At Sherman dining hall, there is a black bulletin board adjacent to the entrance. Students can voice their opinions on brown paper napkins and attach them to the board. One comment read “Please bring back skim and 2% milk” with a smiley face. A small yellow sticky note attached on top of the napkin (presumably from a dining worker or Harvest Table employee), read “on the way!” in response. Sure enough, skim and two percent milk were back in the dairy section. A fair amount of the napkins, however, read statements such as “Reinstate Kevintz.” There were no yellow sticky notes attached to these suggestions. Veteran Catering Lead Kevintz Merisier was not back on the job. According to dining worker Lucia Hsiung — who also serves as a Union Steward for Boston Local 26, the union that represents the Brandeis dining and catering team — Director of Hospitality Clayton Hargrove declined to rehire Merisier on Tuesday, Sept. 27.

Through personal experience, and testimonies from other students, Miller became increasingly aware of the lack of accessibility at the University. This applied to many areas of campus, but one relatively unexplored need was that of access to medications.
