UF strikes blow against terrorism

 

GAINESVILLE

— The University of Florida is changing the name of its

records-management system known as "ISIS," a move being applauded by a

student who is the cousin of a journalist killed by the terrorist

organization of the same name.

The

school was already in the process of upgrading its Integrated Student

Information System database when several students raised concerns about

the name.

Those concerned students included 20-year-old Emily

Weiss, whose cousin Steven Sotloff was executed by the Islamic State of

Iraq and Syria, or ISIS.

Weiss told The Independent Florida Alligator that she was disturbed by the name every time she logged into the system.

The school says it is unclear when the new system will be finished.
