No More Flex at UM Club House
Students are no longer allowed to spend their flex dollars at the UM club house restaurant. Up until this past November students were able to spend flex dollars there. It was nice because every undergrad at Ole Miss gets $200 of flex dollars at the beginning of each semester, included in the tuition. It’s a great concept for freshman and sophomores living on campus, who spend the majority of their flex at The Union or the C Store.
Those of us not living on campus, or have been here long enough, know The Union and Johnson's Commons are not the best food choices around town. But where else do people spend that money? Java City, vending machines, Einstein’s Bagels, and until recently the UM golf course.
The UM club house isn't at the top of Oxfords finest dining either, but after a day on the links, maybe a few beers; a burger and fries paid for with, essentially, monopoly money sounds perfect. "The amount of people we have coming in here, ordering, finding out we no longer take flex and cancel their order is astonishing." One Club House employee, Diana, said.
"I told them this would happen, back in November, when they told us we no longer accept flex" she continued. She said the schools’ reasoning behind the cancellation was because the golf course is off campus, they must charge a sales tax. Something other places on campus that accept flex don't have to do.
"I have heard a handful of people complain about this while out on the range and course" University course member and Senior Jeff McCurty said. “Ole Miss is going to lose some money on this one. I don’t understand why we have been able to do this for the past 3 years but now we can’t” said McCurty.
Flex dollars do roll over semester to semester and once you graduate you can collect what is left. Some people may choose to do that. The majority of us however would like to spend this money while in school. The UM club house was the perfect place to do that. But it looks like students won't be able to spend flex at the course, at least for this semester.
