After Xavier’s five-year con- tract with Sodexo expired last spring, the university hired a con- sultant to evaluate the quality of the company’s food service. The consultant identified problems and confirmed “real shortcomings,” with Sodexo, said Dan Schloemer, Xavier’s director of purchasing. Those shortcomings stood out most in the areas of student din- ing and concessions, Schloemer said.
