This may be rather simple-minded, but has it occurred to you to *ask* 
the affected people to come up with a designation of what *they* think 
they should be called?  You know, have them strike a committee to 
report back to you within X days.  Of course that would demand that 
you as a university administrator enter the 20th century and use 
modern management skills/techniques.  Are you up to it?
