“You don’t have to ‘out’ yourself to get help.'

An offer made famous by McDonald’s has been implemented on the University of Kentucky's campus, where students can purchase lunch for only one dollar.

“Hunger striking and occupying the Main Building showed the university that hundreds of students, as well as the public, care about this and need to see change,” Beau Revlett, a student at the university and member of the Basic Needs Campaign told Newsweek. While the dollar lunches weren’t on the list of demands, both Azad and Revlett welcomed its implementation. Several members of their campaign, including Azad and Revlett, attended the opening day.

Before becoming ONE, the restaurant was called Fusion Café. Penny Cox, the associate vice president of administration, told Newsweek that part of the feasibility of implementing the low-cost meals was that the establishment was already built. Transforming a café that was already on campus also meant its familiar location was easily accessible to students.
