Advice on Demands & Target

Keep it to 1–3 demands. Right now you have 3, but Demand 1 and 2 overlap. Consider combining into one clear meal-plan demand, and keep the scholarship idea as a second demand only if it is truly necessary.
Make each demand a single sentence with a yes/no decision. Use the format: “Feed the Troops demands that (specific decision) by (date/term), at a cost of $X.”
Add the cost and who pays. If the cost is unknown, put $TBD and treat “get cost estimate” as an early campaign step.
Define the population precisely. “Contracted cadets” is promising, but confirm the official term WVU uses and whether it includes all class years.
Remove extra explanation from the demand. Put your reasoning (why it matters, impact on cadets, etc.) in a separate paragraph or section, not in the demand sentence.

Cleaner demand options (examples, not final):

Option A (one demand): “Feed the Troops demands that WVU Hospitality provide a Prime 48 (non-residential) meal plan at no cost to all contracted cadets beginning Fall 2026, at a cost of $TBD.”
Option B (two demands):

“Feed the Troops demands that WVU Hospitality provide a Prime 48 (non-residential) meal plan at no cost to all contracted cadets beginning Fall 2026, at a cost of $TBD.”
“Feed the Troops demands that WVU create a $500 per year ‘Food Support’ scholarship category under the WVU Leadership Scholarship for contracted cadets beginning Fall 2026, at a cost of $TBD.”

Confirm the lowest-level decision maker who can say yes. If the VP of Operations cannot change meal plan eligibility/pricing, the correct target may be a Dining Director, auxiliary services lead, contract manager, or finance approver.
Name + title + unit. List the primary target first, then add a secondary target only if needed.
If the target is a board/committee, name the key members you need for a majority and start with the member most likely to support you.

Target format example:

Primary target: Darius Peacock, Vice President of Operations, WVU Hospitality Group (if this role controls meal plan eligibility/pricing)
Secondary (if needed): [Name], [Title], WVU [Office]
