One of the major benefits of the,Entree Plus system is its convenience. Simply present your ill card at a business that offers the system and the amount of your purchase is automatically deducted from your account Students often use Entree Plus because they don't want to carry cash, or because Entree Plus accounts are included in the students' tuition bills. Since these are usually paid by parents, "I'll just put it on Entree Plus and let my parents pay for it" has become a popular refrain. Entree Plus has been an effective setup, except for one major problem: It's is only available in a few establishments, namely those located on University property, such as the Michigan Union or North Campus Commons. 'This problem needs to be corrected because it is unjust to businesses located off-£ampus and unfair to students. By limiting the use of Entree Plus to businesses on campus, the university is "Otl.'
