You have to start somewhere, man. I'm not sure what you expect - should they come with a 200 page document describing a strategy for compromise with Northwestern? As you note, Northwestern is an entity that holds all the cards. It's a dance that takes years, requires political savvy, a lot of planning, and PR. A little petition to see who is interested in this area is exactly where you would start on something like this.

I don't think anyone who signed this petition thinks it's going to work, it's basically an impromptu poll to see if there is public interest to organize around a topic. I don't think that is so bad.

I'm using "hate" the colloquial sense, like you are just dunking on ideas you don't like without offering anything better.
