Naming exterior areas, University landmarks and interior spaces and/or the placement of monuments in such spaces should enhance the public reputation of the institution.
The placement, establishment or designation of university landmarks on all UM System campuses must be approved by the Board of Curators, as outlined in the University’s Collected Rules and Regulations (CRR 110.080 C2). This process was established to ensure uniformity in landmarks across our four campuses.
To begin the monument approval process, the interested party must complete this form and contact the Office of Donor Relations.
Proposals will be reviewed by Campus Facilities, Advancement and Marcom before being submitted to the Facilities, Buildings and Grounds committee, which includes representation by faculty, staff and students. Approval is required by the Offices of Executive Vice President for Finance & Operations; General Counsel; the Vice Chancellor for Advancement; the Office of Institutional Equity; Provost; and President before exterior areas and university landmarks will be officially submitted to the Board of Curators for consideration and final approval. Interior spaces require the approval of the University President.
