Siddiqui most recently worked as executive director of Texas A&M Dining Services at Texas A&M University in College Station,
Siddiqui earned a bachelor's degree in hotel-motel-restaurant management from Morehead State University in 1986 and a bachelor of arts degree from Punjab University in Pakistan in 1982.

“Campus Dining Services will not provide alternative dining options unless that demand is expressed,” Tymchuck said. “It is my goal to prime the pump by guiding students.”
Tymchuck said there is a niche for halal. “Halal has a market. Nearly half of the colleges we surveyed had 100 or more Muslim students;
Maria said it took three meetings with the Undergraduate Student Government’s Diversity Committee supporting the Muslim Students’ Association and one meeting with the Muslim Students’ Association representing itself to convince Dining Services that halal should be offered.
