Is it permissible to eat for free from the food provided for free to students at the university where I work?

It is not permissible to eat for free from university food unless permission is granted, because the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The wealth of a Muslim is not lawful except with his willing consent." Public property is more sacred than private property.
