Hi Everyone,
Google's HR, Kat responded to our request. She sent the email below,
to the President, Dean and others, in which she mentioned the
significance of CISE for Google and Computer Science society at large.
I am not sure if we should forward the email to everyone. However we
can inform everyone that Google is supporting us. We may use this fact
in our campaign internally, while negotiating with the dean and the
President. Also we can have some posters mentioning Google's support
for tomorrow's rally.

To the Administration of the University of Florida,
My name is Kat Leung and I am Google's Engineering University Programs
Specialist for the University of Florida. We have actively recruited
on campus for technical UF students for the past two years, and the
CISE Department has consistently been the Department that we work with
to recruit high quality engineers.
A large pool of our new graduate hires from UF hold a PhD. Under the
new proposal, I understand that computer science research will be
eliminated. Not only will this be detrimental to the research
community, but it will cause us to reevaluate our recruiting presence
on the University of Florida's campus. Eliminating your software focus
will make it very difficult for us to continue hiring UF students in
the future.
We have hired great people from the University of Florida, and hope to
continue to do so--but under the new proposal, this may not be
possible. I hope that you will reconsider dismantling the CISE
Department. It is an asset to your institution and to the computer
science community at large.
Sincerely,
Kat Leung
