"We know changing terminology can be challenging, and a complete transition will take some time."
"Because the Office is not an academic department, its name change was not subject to a formal review process."As an institution of higher education, we will continue to use words - including the word 'field' - that accurately encompass and describe our work and research, while also continuing our efforts to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all."
