Under extraordinary circumstances, a proposal to rename a university building, space, program or position may be submitted to the President, and by the President for approval to the Board of Regents. Such a proposal must include information about the name of the entity proposed to be renamed and the rationale for changing that name, as well as a recommendation for the preservation and display of the original name on campus, where appropriate.
The renaming of any University building, space, program or position requires approval by the Board of Regents. In considering such proposals, the President and the Board of Regents shall exercise judgment with regard to the individual or entity the original naming was intended to honor and apply the same general principles in section 3.0 above.

In the case of a naming associated with a gift, the donor fails to fulfill the terms of the gift that is recognized by a naming.
The appropriate University representative will make all reasonable efforts to inform in advance the original donors or honorees when the naming period is deemed concluded. The University may provide alternate recognition as appropriate in honor of the original gift.
Any gift valued at $1 million or more in support of a building, space, program, position, scholarship, fellowship or lecture must be accepted by the President (see Gift Acceptance Policy).
A proposal to name a building, space, program or position associated with a gift shall not be implemented – e.g., building signage not installed or a program or position name not utilized in materials and publications – until and unless the University has received an executed gift agreement and 50% of pledge payments towards the gift commitment have been received.
With regard to naming proposals associated with a gift, any special circumstances or requests for exceptions to this policy must be referred to the Vice President of Institutional Advancement who will determine the course of action, which may
