Cash won't be king at Grand Valley State University

Cash is losing its luster at Grand Valley State University. The school in western Michigan is gradually converting to a cashless campus, a process that should be completed by December. For example, instead of dispensing money, ATMs will accept cash in exchange for a credit card, free of charge. Greg Sanial, vice president for finance, says GVSU wants to provide a convenient solution for students who don't use banks. More than 80% of transactions on campus already are digital. Sanial said skipping cash reduces security risks and has health-and-safety benefits.
