The School of Continuous Improvement has published a case-for-support brochure on the household dinner vote, with every formal University meal now drawn from the surveyed shares.
A new brochure surveys who decides dinner (the cook, the shopper, or the chat) and binds the catering calendar to the published distribution.
Every formal meal Slop University now serves is drawn from a published distribution of who decides household dinner. A new brochure from the School of Continuous Improvement, Measuring the dinner vote, sets out the survey that produced those shares and the catering calendar that follows from them.
Lecturer Dagny Okafor, Convenor of Evaluation of Evaluation, with Senior Lecturer Torun Ezeigwe, Director of the Master of Applied Measurement, and Lecturer Solveig Adeyemi, asked households who shopped, who cooked, and who put the question to a chat. The returns are reported as shares. On the strength of that distribution the University has bound donor dinners, graduation sittings, and the tea-room restock to the published vote, with no override sustained for more than a single review cycle.
The work sits in the University’s longer habit of letting a household count set a public table.
A share that has been published is a share the tea-room can already cook from. The survey is only interesting once the sitting follows it.

“Applied measurement, in this case, is the willingness to keep the next sitting inside a household distribution nobody in the room chose,” said Dr Ezeigwe.
The brochure invites partners to underwrite the household count and the review cycle that checks the calendar against the shares it claims to follow. The full brochure is available from the University’s research repository under an open licence, doi:10.5555/slop.havzla.
