Petition nears 1,000 signatures urging UF to restore Krishna Lunch service

An online petition launched within the past week is calling on the University of Florida to resume Krishna Lunch on campus, gathering close to a thousand signatures. UF suspended the decades-long vegetarian lunch program after a Krishna House delivery truck struck a 19-year-old student in a crosswalk in February, hospitalizing her. The petition asks the university to reopen negotiations with Krishna Lunch organizers, evaluate a revised safety plan, and establish a timeline for restoring the program.
