The undersigned hereby extend their anger, disgust, displeasure, and ultimately sadness to the University of Illinois in addition to what will no doubt be thousands of letters.
Despite the overwhelming amount of support from Illinois alumni and students for Chief Illiniwek the University caved into the dissent of a minority in making their decision.
An 80 year tradition has been robbed from those who have experienced it, those who currently do, and those who will never have the chance. Never again will a Memorial Stadium full of people stand and join the Chief for the 3 in 1 and never again will the Orange Krush rush to line the floor and stand inches from the Chief. Although many will no doubt even cry at his last game, the University feels they have acted in their best interest.
They will soon learn that they have not however. The undersigned (be they student or alumni) state that they have or will soon be canceling any membership affiliation with the University that pays dues, and will no longer donate money in any form to a University of Illinois that is without Chief Illiniwek.
Some may say this hurts the University, but the University hurt us. We honored and cherished the Chief for over 80 years and it was stolen from us by a small minority who are yet to understand what he really means.
The goal of 16,692 signatures is representative of the saddened number of ticket bearers who will be present for the sad occassion of Chief Illiniwek's final performance at Assembly Hall.
The undersigned hereby display their extreme displeasure and anger with the University of Illinois and wish to state their intent to show this through the termination of all donations to what is our beloved University.
