Prevent Vanderbilt University from Switching from Gmail to Outlook


Prevent Vanderbilt University from Switching from Gmail to Outlook
The Issue
Vanderbilt University is currently in the process of transitioning from Gmail to Outlook. This switch could prove detrimental to the student body and staff, who have come to rely on Gmail's user-friendly interface, superior spam protection, and seamless integration with other Google applications. A majority 81% of business users prefer Gmail over Outlook due to these factors (2019 Business Software Satisfaction Survey). Changing to Outlook without due consideration of the potential impact is unwise. We, therefore, call on Vanderbilt University to halt the planned transition, and further solicit student and staff feedback before making any drastic changes to our email service. Your signature can help preserve the status quo and maintain the effective, efficient communication system that Gmail provides. Sign now to support this cause.
