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
include consultation with the President and/or the Board of Regents.
The University will generally not name a building, space, program or position in honor of a current faculty or staff member. Proposals for such a naming may be approved to take effect upon the retirement of the individual faculty or staff member.
