Policy Number: 8.600
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The purpose of this policy is to provide standard guidelines among all departments of National Park College in the naming of buildings, sites, and common areas. Naming opportunities may be granted in recognition of distinction and/or in recognition of financial support. It is the intent in naming a college facility to provide recognition in perpetuity, however, circumstances may alter the permanent nature of such a designation. Circumstances that may influence continuation of a facility's name might include, but not be limited to, demolition of the facility or change in the use of the facility. Should a facility need to be renamed, appropriate attention shall be given to alternative recognition that might transfer the name to another college facility, addition of the name to a permanent recognition registry, or other suitable recognition. A college facility that is named based on a financial agreement may not be changed except if the board finds a change is in the best interest of the college. The naming of college facilities may follow the policies and procedures as set forth in this policy or the National Park College Foundation Named Giving Policy depending on the intent of the donor.
SCOPE

AUTHORITY
