Project Idea #2: Petition Portal

This idea was also brought to us by a member of the ACM. In the past couple months, UIC has switched dining service providers from Aramark to Sodexho. The move has received a mixed reaction from many students, as many of the a la carte menu choices are no longer available. Students have planned a petition to protest the changes, and this project seeks to provide an online portal for this petition. Users would provide their email address privately and any comments they have on the issue. The application would verify email addresses and potentially pre-filter them so that only users with a specific domain name (such as uic.edu) are allowed, much like Facebook. This application could be made generic so that others can use it to drive their petitions, as well.
