What is happening in the AUI Campus Store?

No, it’s not the apocalypse, but a lengthy restructuring process.

The past month has been marked by empty shelves at our campus store and scarcity when it comes to items’ supplies. In addition to limited opening hours and staff availability in the store.

Few weeks into the start of Spring semester 2021, the AUI community received an e-mail from the campus store director indicating that the shop will be operating during working days from 12 pm to 5 pm. Students will, later on, be surprised by the non-availability of certain items since the store is no longer refilling its stock, but is rather going through a liquidation process. Moreover, the campus store even mysteriously closed its doors in its opening hours without notice, angering a number of members of the AUI community.

Despite a survey that the SGA has shared to collect feedback from students, the issue appears to be more complicated than it seemed. With a restructuring process that started at the beginning of the semester, no communication about the status of the advancement of the “restructuring” process has been done by the university, leaving students with the only choice of going outside campus to buy necessities.
