My thought process is rebrand everything and once we have rebranded then we make it official. That’s going to be much easier than going through the hoops first. As we saw with football it will take years to get each gate passed to officially change the name. The rebrand can happen much quicker. Rebrand and get in with our image and once that is in we can worry about the official change and how ever long it takes.[/quote]
If a rebranding is successful, then you completely remove the reason to officially change the name. Why spend money when you don’t have to?
If a rebranding fails, then money will rule again and whoever is in Bissel House at the time will say to us “Well…we tried” and then we’ll be stuck with a mish-mash of different names and confusion that will make the current situation look downright simplified.
The Board of Governors can not oppose a name change from “UNC-” without looking like hypocrites. Wasn’t even half a decade ago they were all for renaming Fayetteville St. as UNCF. We should do it right the first time and not give the University’s “leadership” an easy way to back out later.[/quote]
I just want to move faster. I have no fear a rebrand would fail.[/quote]
Anything done half-hearted is prone to failure, and if there’s one thing the U leadership is good at it’s doing things half-hearted that are forced on them.[/quote]
This leadership isn’t going to do it. It’s the next leader. Since I don’t know who that is I am not going to say how they would do. I don’t think a rebrand is half hearted I think it’s the most time efficient way to achieve our goals. It’s just a matter of process and which step comes first.
