    The President’s Charge. The President’s Office initiated this program to enable students, faculty and administrators to come together over meals to discuss matters of common interest. It should be noted that only faculty and administrators are eligible to participate in this program. There is no charge to the student for the guest’s meal, a fund is provided by the President for this service. One student may take one faculty member or administrator to a meal in the Marketplace or Tiger Cooler by requesting a charge form at the cashier stand. The guest meal is limited to a $10.00 purchase. The student must pay for his or her meal with Meal Money, FLEX, Rollover or cash. This program applies only to individual meals in the dining facilities.
