The Trustees of the California State University have developed CSU policies on naming facilities (“Policy And Procedure On Naming California State University Facilities and Properties”), as well as colleges, schools, and other academic entities (“Policy And Procedures On Naming California State University Colleges, Schools, and Other Academic Entities”). In these policies, the Trustees have retained for themselves the authority to name all CSU facilities and properties, i.e., all buildings; major portions of buildings; university or college streets or roads; stadium and baseball fields and other areas of major assembly or activity; plazas, malls, and other large areas of campus circulation; as well as naming all CSU colleges, schools, programs, centers, and institutes. The Trustees’ policy has stated that the naming of academic entities, as opposed to facilities, is to be reserved for fund-raising purposes only. The policies referenced above have outlined specific procedures to be followed in proposing names to the Trustees. These policies, along with Executive Order 713 (1999), “Delegation of Authority - Naming of CSU Facilities and Properties,” (http://www.calstate.edu/eo/EO-713.pdf), have delegated to the President of each university in the California State University System the naming of those facilities and properties, academic entities, including endowed chairs, and scholarships for which the Trustees have not reserved the naming rights. The intent of the following policy is to guide the process of naming entities for which the President of San Diego State University has been delegated ultimate responsibility. |
