Repository: UIHistories Project: Board of Trustees - Building Naming Regulations - Revision 2006 [PAGE 3]

EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:

3 • allowing facilities to be named after a donor or someone the donor designates; • allowing donor-naming opportunities for not only new construction, but also for “renovating, remodeling or additions”; and, • allowing the Board to approve the naming of a University Facility or Program in situations other than those specified when the Board, in its discretion, determines that the interests of the University are served in doing so. Finally, the proposed amendment expressly recognizes in Section 4(b) that the University will comply with existing and future provisions of State law in this area. The main similarity between the current policy and the proposed amendment lies in requiring Board approval for naming situations while allowing the Chancellors to determine opportunities for recognition using commemorative plaques or tablets next to spaces within buildings. As mentioned, an initial draft was shared with the Chancellors, who provided comments and suggestions. The University Senates Conference has been consulted on the proposed amendment. The board action recommended in this item complies in all material respects with applicable State and Federal laws, University of Illinois Statutes, The General Rules Concerning University Organization and Procedure, and Board of Trustees policies and directives. The President of the University recommends approval.
