Keep UVA Google Accounts

The Issue

The University of Virginia has used Google accounts for years, allowing students to work collaboratively and store all of their academic information conveniently in a well-organized manner. However, the University has announced their plans to switch to Office 365 to conduct their work, which threatens the connectivity between students, professors and faculty that had previously worked in UVA's favor. The students of UVA nearly unanimously oppose this this change, and demand to be heard by those responsible for it. We ask to be allowed to continue to use Google Accounts in lieu of Office 365.
