FORMER STUDENT
Murdered
John Riedel Redstone Campus’ Simpson Dining Hall lost “critical” points on its most recent health inspection last November due to a broken dishwasher. Simpson Dining Hall received an overall score of 92 out of 100 points on its last health inspection, according to healthvermont.gov. However, the dining hall failed to pass on one item, that “food equipment and utensils must be properly sanitized,” resulting in a four point deduction. On the Vermont Health Department’s website there is a checklist of 44 items that health inspectors go through every time they inspect a food and lodging program. “Thirteen of these items are considered ‘critical’ and address areas where there is a high likelihood of illness if left uncorrected,” according to the website.
