Synek said that she is working to organize conservative and Christian students to turn out in support of Chick-fil-A.

“I think it’s good to engage in some dialogue, but I don’t like how it was handled with the email and the second poll. I don’t think that was the appropriate method. This hearing is what should have been done in the first place, and I’m looking forward to participating in it,” she added.

Tiff Weekley, president of UNK’s Queer Straight Alliance, said that members of her group oppose Chick-fil-A coming to UNK.

“A majority of QSA members do oppose Chick-fil-A as the main restaurant option on UNK’s campus, though as a whole we only hope to create dialogue on the importance of being aware to issues facing diverse and minority students. Though majority voices are most often heard, it is important to listen to what issues are facing all students and to start conversations around those,” Weekley said.

Calhoun said the list of restaurants voted on by students was compiled by UNK’s Business and Finance Division, because they were viewed as feasible options.

Gottula said that UNK’s Student Government should be commended for getting feedback and listening to students.
