718.1 |
Naming
Highly Visible Facilities and Properties |
|
|
The
Board of Trustees of The California State University retains authority
for naming all highly visible facilities and properties. Under Trustee Policy, a name may be proposed
for a facility or property to honor an individual or organization. Trustee
policy is intended to encourage private support through opportunities
to name campus facilities and properties and only under extraordinary
circumstances should facilities and properties be named without a “substantial
gift” benefiting the When
no gift is involved, proposed name should honor a person who has achieved
unique distinction in higher education or other significant areas of
public service, or has served the CSU in an academic capacity and has
earned a national or international reputation as a scholar, or has served
the CSU in an administrative capacity and who, during administrative
service, made extraordinary contributions to a CSU campus or the CSU
system which warrant special recognition.
When a proposal for naming in honor of an individual involves
service to the University in an academic or administrative capacity,
a proposal shall not be made until the individual has been retired or
deceased at least two years. In
special circumstances, the Board of Trustees may waive any or all of
the above criteria. Following
appropriate campus consultation, which must include consultation with
the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate, the University President
may submit naming proposals to the Chancellor's Office for approval
by the Board of Trustees. |

718.2 |
Naming
Colleges, Schools and Other Academic Entities |
|
|
The
Board of Trustees of The California State University retains authority
for naming all CSU colleges, schools, programs, centers and institutes. Under Trustee Policy, a name may be proposed
to honor an individual or organization. Trustee
policy is intended to encourage private support through opportunities
to name these programs. In evaluating naming proposals, the Trustees
consider the significance and amount of the proposed current gift and
potential future giving with regard to the academic prestige and recognition
of the proposed college, school, program, center or institute. In
special circumstances, the Board of Trustees may waive any or all of
the above criteria. Following
appropriate campus consultation, which must include consultation with
the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate, the University President
may submit naming proposals to the Chancellor's Office for administrative
and Trustee review. |

Naming
Rooms, Areas and Items or Features |
|
|
The
Board of Trustees of The California State University has delegated to
the Chancellor, who in turn has delegated to the University President,
the authority to name individual rooms, limited areas, and individual
items or features within buildings, individual landscape items or features,
limited outdoor areas, and other minor properties.
The President is also delegated authority to approve the temporary
naming for a facility or property, reflecting natural or geographic
features, or reflecting a traditional theme of a university. Each proposal for naming a CSU facility or
property shall be considered on its own merits. The intent of Trustee
policy is to encourage private support through opportunities to name
campus facilities and properties for individuals or organizations. Only
under extraordinary circumstances should facilities and properties be
named without a gift. Proposals
for the naming of individual rooms, limited areas, and individual items
or features within buildings, individual landscape items or features,
limited outdoor areas, and other minor properties shall be presented
for review to the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs,
following consultation with the Vice President for Administration and
Finance, dean(s), and/or department heads or chairs (as appropriate),
shall submit his or her findings and recommendations to the President
for final action. |
