The way I interpret those emails is that the university does not want to make these changes to \u201cprotect their image\u201d. It is obvious that the university is still salivating for money, even though they have much more than they need. Eventually, the people, alumni, donors, and even major benefactors will die, and with them, this so-called \u201cneed\u201d to keep these names. If the university does not change its ways, current students and recent alumni will choose not to support a university that fails to listen to students. The fact of the matter is that the people who are making these decisions are not living through what current students are living through on a daily basis.
