LSU is all about outsourcing. If they could outsource the students and get a fat kickback for the Chancellor, they'd do it before you could say "screwjob!"
We have Chartwells on campus. The food in the cafeterias was pretty nasty. There are 2 on campus. The one on the "ghetto" side of campus was worse than the one on the other side. Only one of them was open on the weekend, alternating days. So, if you wanted to eat on Saturday, you could either risk your life to get to the other end of campus or just go somewhere else.
The Union has Chick-Fil-A and something called Upper Crust, which is just nasty nasty Subway. And a few other things that I can't remember.
LSU has also sold the bookstore to Barnes and Noble, so there's a Starbucks. We've also got a CC's Coffee House in the Law School, and a PJ's Coffee House in the Union. And a Domino's on campus.
Overall, Chartwells didn't suck too badly. I'd give them a 5 on a scale of 10.
