Hardly ever does

Hello,

I'm not sure whb ether after hardly ever should the verb invert.

1) Students are in a rush to get to their classes, so, hardly ever does anybody wakeup in the morning to eat his breakfast.

2)The university plans to omit /remove/ eliminate the breakfast from the current meal plan.( which is proper in English.)

Thank you so much for your time and effort.

Hi, I'm not sure whb ether after hardly ever should the verb invert. 1) Students are in a rush to get to their classes, so, hardly ever does anybody wak e u p in the morning to eat his breakfast. This is not wrong, but it's a less common and very literary kind of structure.
