www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/16/chick-fil-a-elon-university_n_1971376.htmlIt will be interesting, in this day and age of everyone fighting for donations, to see how this will affect Elon. I know of several wealthy families who are just looking for a reason to discontinue donations based on the ever increasing liberal tendencies of Elon. Honestly, this is another reason I feel Elon would be better off in the CAA. The political characteristics of the Northeastern cities much more closely mirror Elon versus the South.

They do now. Yes.
It bothers me when a company that has no basis of discrimination of employment comes under such fire because the owner has a viewpoint.
Basically what the school did is say, the owner doesn't want to be exclusive. So, let's not include the owner's restaurant. The same thing I told The Pendulum. All the students have to do is let their money talk. But, they refused to do that, they want the publicity of banning them.
Stuff that kids do like this infuriates me.

The Pendulum article said 63% of the students in a poll of 283, which is statistically significant, opposed the removal of Chick Fil A from campus. It will be interesting to see if 35 power drunk students will override the desire of the majority.

Another angle is, the SGA decision is only an advisement to the school, it has no weight.

there are some videos on youtube of lambert on the issue. he said we will let the studnets speak on the issue and the way they can speak is on foot traffic. This made me mad because Elon is putting its name in an arguement it doesnt need to be in and ive been tempted to contact the administration or SGA. But it is what it is

Basically that's how I saw it too. And it seems to be driven by students that want to have an agenda.
