The Vermont State Colleges Board of Trustees approved changes to the Campus Holiday program at Johnson and Lyndon State Colleges for this summer. Modifications include a 15 day advance notice for reservations, raised minimum meal prices to 8.15, no in state reservations, and guest questionnaires to gauge whether they would have stayed in a local motel. The plan aims to raise funds, but opponents warn it shifts business from private tourism.
