OBERLIN — Oberlin College is moving ahead with plans to outsource its dining services contract to a new food services provider, four months after it announced plans to cut $2 million and possibly as many as 100 unionized campus dining and custodial jobs.
Monday’s announcement, like the original announcement of the changes in February, came as a surprise to the union representing the affected Oberlin College employees, its chairman said.
Erik Villar, chairman of the UAW employees, said Monday’s announcement “came out of nowhere.”
