New York University is cutting ties with its longtime cafeteria contractor, a year after the company was excoriated for serving a racially insensitive meal during Black History Month.

An internal committee recently “advised that NYU begin negotiations” with food company Chartwells Higher Ed to serve the Greenwich Village campus, spokeswoman Shonna Keogan said.

“If they are successful, Chartwells would take over as NYU’s food service provider as of July 1.”

Aramark, which has contracted with the university since 1976, made national headlines last year for serving students a Black History Month meal of ribs, collard greens and Kool-Aid, among other food that plays into racist stereotypes, critics charged.

The university claims it sought contracts for a new cafeteria operator before the controversy, but the decision to go with Chartwells was made last month.

The former general manager for NYU’s dining hall, Tim Hoben, was fired in the wake of the meal mishap and sued NYU and Aramark — alleging the company made him the scapegoat to save its lucrative contract.

The university shifted blame to Aramark amid the backlash, with President Andrew Hamilton saying at the time the meal choices “were not discussed with NYU beforehand. We were shocked to learn of the drink and food choices that our food service provider — Aramark — offered at the Weinstein dining hall as part of Black History Month. It was inexcusably insensitive.”

Aramark did not respond to The Post’s questions.
