Submitted information from Zoe Shepard of the Wheeler Name Change Initiative:
“We will be having our second virtual town hall on Monday October 11 at 6:00pm where we will be recounting our initiative, giving updates, and opening the floor to questions.
“We are continuing to reach out to the board and attend board meetings, though we are still unable to elicit a response. Over the summer, we attended the June board meeting then launched an email campaign sending emails three times a week throughout the month of July.”
More specifically:
“Each board member received 22 emails from students within the initiative, but majority of the Board failed to respond even once.
“If the Board cannot adequately address the concerns of the community, they cannot properly represent said community. The sole obligation of the Board members is being willfully neglected, and we deserve better.”
There are two ways to sign up to watch the town hall: GoTo Webinar and Linktree.
