University President Jack DeGioia announced today that the potential 3rd year meal-plan was no longer in consideration during a press conference with his mother, Elaine.

President DeGioia allegedly lost his allowance for three weeks starting today after his mother caught wind of his proposal.

“I heard that my son John has been a little bit mean to some of you” said the elder DeGioia to start the press conference. “Well, he and I had a talk and now he has something to say to you all, don’t you John?”

“I’d like to start off by saying that I’m sorry” said a visibly disgruntled President DeGioia in a flat monotone which apparently upset his mother.

“It was mean of me to- ow, OW, OHMYGOD MOM, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I AM saying it like I mean it!”
The press conference was then postponed as Elaine DeGioia dragged “John” offstage by the ear.

In a email blast from the President, DeGioia criticized the press conference as “poorly conceived” but that “mom said I had to.” He went on to say that he was “sorry for the whole meal plan thing, I wasn’t trying to hurt your feelings.”

At press time, GUSA announced it was considering hiring Elaine DeGioia as a lead negotiator for student-administration negotiations going forward. Construction is expected to be finished all around campus by next Tuesday and Leo’s will be serving Lobster Thermidor every day.
