11.06 / Naming And Dedication Of University Facilities

Revised: August 22, 2023 | Effective: July 1, 1997

Date Policy Request To Pet:

August 22, 2023

Current Policy Title:

11.06 / Naming Of University Facilities

Revised Policy Title:

11.06 / Naming And Dedication Of University Facilities

Last Revised Date Of Policy:

February 13, 2017

Initiating Authority:

The University President

Summary Of Policy Or Policy Change:

This policy is being revised to comply with KBOR's updated policy on naming University facilities, which requires KBOR approval in many circumstances and has specified further requirements for naming facilities. Additional procedures have also been added for review of dedication signage and for other compliance matters, including trademark and copyright restrictions, and whether KBOR approval is required. The additional procedures are consistent with current practice. And finally, the policy is being updated with the current standard form for University policies.

Reason Or Need For Policy / Summary Of Changes Made To Existing Policy:

The current policy, which places the authority to approve the naming of University facilities/buildings, solely with the University President, is in conflict with KBOR Policy, Ch. II, Section E.13, Naming of Buildings, Facilities, and Campuses, which places such authority in many circumstances with the Board of Regents. In addition, the current policy provides very little guidance in regard to dedication signage, including how to handle sitting presidents who are not inaugurated and KBOR members that have been appointed but have not yet taken office.
