David Murphy, Grand Forks, letter: Disgrace or ‘Great Tradition’: Which is it? 
If the nickname and logo were a part of the “great traditions,” why would they need to be retired?
But if the NCAA is correct and the logo is hostile and abusive … then it should not be honored, it should be retired in disgrace.

Ron Vossler, East Grand Forks, letter: Sauce for goose, sauce for (tenured) ganders
Now that the social justice comrades in the UND humanities departments apparently have gotten their wish to cleanse the Sioux logo, I suggest that this same assiduous desire for change for cleaning up all perceived or real inequities be applied to the same departments.

Denise Lajimodiere, Fargo, column: Indian students unmasked racial microaggressions
The students’ experiences are what C. Pierce, a Harvard psychiatrist, coined as “racial microaggressions,” defined as the subtle indignities and insults heaped on minorities during everyday exchanges, the demeaning messages sent to people of color by white people.

Jerry Shea, Eden Prairie, Minn., letter: Council should give a reason, not an excuse
It is interesting that tribal council member Doug Crow Ghost tells UND to “get over it” when, in fact, it’s the Standing Rock people who are not getting over it and who represent the only reason this matter is still unsettled.

Kenton Hicks, Thief RIver Falls, letter: Time for a contest for UND’s new nickname
Why doesn’t the Herald or UND start a contest open to all to submit a name and a reason for that name?

Larry Pankonin, Grand Forks, letter: Retire the ‘Sioux’ name from anthem, too
Using the name in this way cheapens and dishonors both the Sioux nation and our nation, the United States.
I have never liked the substitution and never will.

Caroline Olson, Grand Forks, letter: Enthusiasm on part of leaders would help
That is the attitude a college president should have instead of the one shown by our President Robert Kelley, who said he is happy to have something else to work on (meaning finding a new nickname).

Jim Antes, Littleton, Colo., letter: Loyal fan says, ‘Time to retire the name’
My support has steadfastly been for the teams and the student athletes and does not depend on what the team name and logo are.
It is time to change the name and logo, and I thank the State Board of Higher Education for its courageous action.

Janet Ahler, Grand Forks, letter: Professional groups decry Indian nicknames
One has only to look at the professional organizations that have made statements against the use of American Indian nicknames to be convinced that there is a “right” surrounding this issue.

Emil LaRocque, Belcourt, N.D., column: Nickname prompts falloff in Indian enrollment
The average number of students we have funded at UND throughout the years on an annual basis has been 130-plus. For academic year 2009/2010, we funded 62 students.
I attribute this 60 percent drop for the most part to the many hurtful spinoffs of the Fighting Sioux name and logo.

Erich Longie, Fort Totten, N.D., column: Ignore nickname fans’ ‘smoke and mirrors’
Almost every letter writer to the Herald in support of the nickname wrote nothing but positive statements about us Indians. Man! I never read so many nice things about us in my whole life.
And why all this sudden outpouring of generosity? Because it is a ruse — maybe not a conscious ruse, but a ruse nonetheless.

State Rep. Lonny Winrich, D-Grand Forks, letter: State board handled tough situation well
I, for one, want to express my thanks to the members of the State Board of Higher Education for their service in this tough situation.

Richard Hanson, Grafton, N.D., letter: Reflections on the 100-year nickname war
If the nickname dispute persists as long as Jarndyce v. Jarndyce (as I think it will), the Herald might be printing nickname letters in the next century.

Linda Hamilton, East Grand Forks, letter: Presenting the UND Fighting Spirit
In honor of what the university has been as well as what it can become, let UND now be known as the “Fighting Spirit.”

Bob Kringlen, Larimore, N.D., letter: Nickname action cost board its credibility
If a vote were held and most American Indians said the nickname should go, I probably could accept that. But I’m not buying it from the Board of Higher Dictatorship.
