After the University of North Texas announced last month that it may use its right of eminent domain to acquire the Sack & Save grocery store property adjacent to the campus, the university’s administration has announced a plan to again use eminent domain to seize the lunch of freshman student Diego Greene.
UNT Facilities Manager Jim Hull said that utilizing the university’s legal right to the student’s lunch, which is allegedly an “amazing looking” ham sandwich, is a necessary step toward the goal of becoming a top-tier research institution.
“This acquisition requires a rapid timeline of execution, keeping in mind the close proximity of lunchtime,” he said, glancing hungrily at his watch. “We feel that we know best how to use this sandwich, which might have been wasted in the hands of a student, as a tool to satisfy the university’s hunger for growth.”
UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson assured students that while seizing Greene’s lunch may not directly benefit them now, it will undoubtedly serve untold numbers of hungry students in the years to come.
“Just look at that thing. There’s ham, Swiss, I may have even seen some avocado peeking out from under that crusty bread. My God, this student’s sandwich couldn’t be more perfect for the needs of a growing flagship university,” he said.
“We’ve also heard unconfirmed reports of Sun Chips,” he added.
Greene, a freshman psychology major, said that while he supports the university and respects their right of eminent domain, he’s not sure how taking his lunch will benefit the school.
“I mean, I know this university is growing, both in size and reputation. But what am I supposed to eat now? Do they really expect me to find the fresh bread, meat and produce necessary to create a sandwich this good at a fucking CVS?”
