Speech #2 Outline

Title: A proposal to expand the use and accessibility of flex meal at the University of Iowa.

Purpose Statement: To persuade the University of Iowa to allow flex meals to be used at all University owned dinning locations. In addition, extend the hours that flex meals are accepted at the locations.

Thesis Statement: At Universities across the country meal plans are available for purchase to the students that attend the school. The meal plan at the University of Iowa includes meals which are only accepted at certain times and locations. I believe with enough push from the student body that it should be possible to utilize flex meals at all University of Iowa owned dining.

Body:

Main point 1: Flex meals allowed at all locations
-Catlett Late night grill
-Blacks Gold grill

Main Point 2: Longer hours of using flex meals
-Burge marketplace is open all day but the time allowed to use flex meals is very limited.
-The food truck has very limited hours
-Hillcrest market place also has very limited hours for flex meals.

Main point 3: Flex meals roll over to the next semester
-Flex meals are bought and owned by the students and they should roll over to the next semester if they are unused.
-Compare to other Universities and how they have different rules around their meal plans

Justification:
The University of Iowa makes a lot of money each of the meal plans that students purchase. For the money that each student pays they deserve to be able to use flex meals when they want and where they want. In addition, the flex meals that are not used at the end of the semester are still owned by the student that bought them and should still be able to be used.

Conclusion:
- Restate all of the main Body points
- Discuss how change will happen if the student voice is heard.
