In recent weeks the pressures on the fast-food chain Chic-Fil-A have mounted accross the country. Southern Illinois has embarked on an effort in the same spirit that calls for the removal of the local franchise from the student center on the campus of SIUC. More than 140 participants have signed the petetition with a goal of 500 signatures. Students from both the Edwardsville campus and Carbondale campus have expressed dissatisfaction with the current tenant who operates from both locations.
More than 600 have joined local social media groups in this effort and are distributing a petition at Change.Org which calls for the university to take action towards the goal of puting the local outlet out of business. In recent weeks, the companies president and CEO has admitted that it has made significant effort and financial expenditure on the anti-equality movement in recent years. Following this admission, a sizable public-relations issue has gained traction in communities large and small.
