And here you have it folks, the response from the University came this afternoon as I prepared myself for some PB&J time. It's a good feeling to get a response, and to be able to tell that letters and emails are actually read. Or maybe just the awesome ones like mine. haha. anyway try to enjoy it as much as i did.

Dear Genevieve:
President McCormick has asked me to respond to your message
of February 20, 2005 concerning the naming of sandwiches at the College
Avenue "grease trucks."
In your message, you express a clear sense of the complexity of the
issues surrounding this case. In particular, you note the need to
support freedom of expression and to protect a supportive learning
environment for all members of the University community.
As you know, the food vendors who operate the "grease trucks" on College
Avenue are granted permission to use university property under a
contractual arrangement supervised by Rutgers' Parking and
Transportation Services. Licensed vendors must agree to abide by
various regulations intended to best serve the Rutgers community, as
well as the public. Their contractual obligations include providing
copies of posted menu items; showing respect to all students, faculty
members and staff; and operating in a professional, courteous manner.
Consistent with its rights under the food vendor contracts, the
university has enforced those provisions by requiring vendors to remove
offending language from their posted menus.
Thank you for your commitment to the responsibility we all share to
encourage the growth and development of a strong sense of community here
at Rutgers University.
Sincerely,
Greg Blimling
Gregory S. Blimling
Vice President
