[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1376773, member: 9229"] I don't know why any outreach should be assumed to be disingenuous. The fact is that the anti-Chief side has never suggested or pushed for any charitable efforts, scholarship funds, or knowledge outreach for the Native American community. They just want to sweep the past under the rug and get some dude squirrel costume to dance on the sidelines. That helps no one. There's no reason why we cannot find an outcome that benefits everyone involved. I honestly don't even care about the dance. I care about the University of Illinois not becoming a university that bans certain symbols from being worn at sports events, from being displayed in professor's offices, from being worn on the streets. I don't want my alma mater to think that banning a melodic beat or throwing some idiot in a furry costume out there is the best solution. Or to be a place that allows professors to harass students or alums in bathrooms. I'm not saying any party should accept any deal that we offer. I'm saying its stupidly closed-minded of the University to refuse to consider these options. [/QUOTE]
