SUBJECT:  Policy For The Naming of Campus Facilities and Programs


The Board of Trustees of The University of North Carolina at Asheville
hereby approves the policy for naming of campus facilities and
programs as follows:

Over the years UNCA has honored persons whose commitment to the
University or contributions to our society have been extraordinary. 
Through the naming of buildings, rooms or other campus facilities
UNCA has expressed its appreciation for such loyalty, leadership and
generosity.

In general, nominations for the naming of buildings, other facilities or
programs will not be reviewed earlier than two years following the
resignation, retirement or death of faculty, staff, administrators or
others associated with UNCA.  However, the Board of Trustees
reserves the option to waive the waiting period when naming campus
facilities and programs in honor of a benefactor when their contribution
is significant and recommended by the Chancellor.  (See Attachment
for Guidelines for the Naming of Campus Facilities and Programs
Based On Financial Contributions.)

Nominations should be submitted to the Vice Chancellor for University
Relations (or other University officer appointed by the Chancellor) for
consideration by the Committee for Naming of Campus Facilities and
Programs.  This committee will be composed of at least two members
of the Board of Trustees appointed by the Chair, and the following
appointed by the Chancellor: two faculty members, an alumnus, a
UNCA Foundation Board member, a student,and a representative of
the University staff.

Under direction of the Vice Chancellor for University Relations, this
Committee will review the credentials of the nominee. Upon receiving
the report of the Committee, the Chancellor may submit suggested
names to the Board of Trustees for consideration and/or approval.  

The final authority for naming buildings and facilities rests with the
UNCA Board of Trustees. No formal commitment for naming
buildings/facilities/programs may be made without prior approval as
outlined herein.

 GUIDELINES FOR THE NAMING OF CAMPUS FACILITIES AND PROGRAMS
 BASED ON FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS


1.  Procedures.

When it appears that a contribution to the University or to the UNCA
Foundation, Inc. will result in a request to name a building, portion of a
building or University program for a donor or other individual, the Vice
Chancellor for University Relations should be notified.  A profile of the
donor and of the honoree, the area of interest with any proposed
stipulations, and information about how the gift will be paid should be
provided.

The Vice Chancellor will discuss the potential naming with the
Chancellor, who may choose to convene a Committee for Naming of
Campus Facilities and Programs. See main policy for subsequent steps.
Should a potential naming directly involve an academic department or
program, the Chancellor will consult with the faculty involved and with
the University Planning Council prior to convening a Committee for the
Naming of Campus Facilities and Programs. 

A written statement of intent from the donor (see below) must be made
prior to the full Board of Trustees being asked to approve the naming.

2.  Contribution Guidelines.

In order for a building, facility or program to be named based upon a
contribution, the following will normally be met:

a.   The amount of the gift will comply with the guidelines following.

b.   The gift must be in irrevocable form (e.g., trust, contract for will, or
     to be paid over a period of no longer than five years based upon a
     signed commitment and binding on the donor's estate).  A deferred
     gift is not normally acceptable for a facility where construction is
     dependent on the gift.

c.   The person for whom the name is assigned has some reasonable
     connection to the University.

d.   Unless the gift is required to construct the facility to be named,
     consideration should be given to using the gift corpus to establish
     unrestricted University endowment.  This endowment may carry the
     name of the donor.  

e.   If a department or program is to be named, a restricted endowment
     supporting that department or program will be established.

3.  Suggested Levels of Contributions

The following amounts are suggested to establish a naming opportunity
for a University building, facility or program.   In general, the
Board of Trustees reserves the right to change the amounts below or to
use a combination of gifts and service as a criteria for naming.

total cost for new buildings and 10% for additions.  The suggested
levels shall be reviewed periodically by the Board of Trustees.
