Dear Senators,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in gathering faculty feedback regarding a potential name change for the university. While a formal vote is not necessary at this stage, I ask that each senator reach out to their department faculty to discuss this matter and collect their input.

Key stakeholders have already expressed support for the change, believing it will help us regain emotional and financial backing while reinforcing our heritage. The conversation around this has already begun, and it is important that we, as faculty, take part in shaping the outcome. This is a key opportunity for us to have a meaningful voice in the future of our institution.

It is perfectly fine if consensus cannot be reached within your department. Whatever the outcome of your discussions, that feedback will be reported as the voice of the Faculty Senate. Please provide the feedback from your department by Thursday at the end of the day.

Thank you for your time and effort in reaching out to your faculty and gathering their insights. I look forward to receiving your feedback.

Regards,

Yasemin
