Policy Statement:
No University facilities or grounds, or any part thereof, shall be
dedicated to or named for any individual, partnership, corporation,
entity, or person or otherwise given some designation without the
advance written consent and approval of the President of the
University.
Any proposal to dedicate, name, or designate any University facilities or grounds shall be submitted to the President, in writing and with supporting explanation or justification, prior to any communication with a proposed honoree.
In considering any such proposal, the President shall consult with
appropriate staff members and the University's Director of Facilities
Planning.
In situations where University facilities or grounds, or any part
thereof, have been dedicated to or named for any individual,
partnership, corporation, entity or person, the University reserves the
right to withdraw the designation or name if, in the sole opinion of
the University, the individual, partnership, corporation, entity or
person has come into disrepute in the University or in the general
community so as to reflect negatively or adversely upon the University.
Any naming made pursuant to this policy shall remain in effect until
such time as the University determines the facility has exceeded its
useful life or the facility's continued use has become impossible or
impractical.
