Park Student Union is better servicing UA students by staying open later on the weekdays, until 11pm. Finally, Park decided to change the long-standing 8pm closing time. The later time was intended for students to study and provide food for students later in the evening.

While the upstairs dining hall will still be closed, the downstairs convenience store will stay open. According to Kathy Van Os, Dining Services Manager at Park Student Union, food from the dining hall will be packaged and sold in the convenience store.

Furthermore, Dominoes Pizza may stay open later if they are able to hire someone to cover the new shift.

Park Student Union's choice to stay open later is important and long overdue. Other food franchises ought to consider making the same decision, given how much demand there is from the student community.
