<span style="font-family: ".SFUI-Regular", serif;">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.</span><span style="font-family: ".SF UI", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUI-Regular", serif;">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.</span><span style="font-family: ".SF UI", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: ".SFUI-Regular", serif;">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.</span><span style="font-family: ".SF UI", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
