As I understand it, the McCormick dining hall is protected by a separate 
endowment. Thus the deficit from the McCormick dining hall gets covered 
by restricted funds (as opposed to the rest of dining that gets covered 
by general MIT funds). I can also find no verification that the 
McCormick house government doesn't want their dining program. It would 
be nice if someone living in McCormick could validate/deny these claims.
