Naming College Facilities Policy
The following policy provisions are established to assure an appropriate reflection of the history of Hagerstown Community College as well as consistency, fairness, fitting recognition and good value in exchange for the honor or privilege of name association with a physical aspect of the College. The naming for a specific individual, family or organization of College buildings, rooms, labs, offices and other major building areas as well as campus areas, such as athletic fields or tribute areas within the Waltersdorf Quad, shall be subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees at one of its regular meetings based upon a recommendation from the College President that specifically applies the following criteria: 1. contributed significantly to the founding or advancement of the College; or 2. contributed financially to the College; the type of space named commensurate with the gift; or 3. is part of an HCC facility fund raising campaign conducted by the HCC Foundation, Alumni Association or other recognized campus group that had previously shared and received endorsement from the President and Board of Trustees to include naming rights provisions in the campaign plan where contribution levels were determined and specified based on the size, location, and function of the structure. Specific contribution levels may be established as either fixed or minimum dollar amounts for each campaign. Because naming forges a permanent link in the public mind between the College and the individual so honored, the Board shall determine in each case whether naming is appropriate and desirable, and this determination is a matter of discretion, based upon all of the facts and circumstances. In the event the use of a room, facility, or building is temporarily changed, notification and explanation of the change will be communicated to the donor. In the event the use of a room, facility, or building is changed, such that it must be demolished, substantially renovated, or rebuilt, the College may, but is not required to, retain the use of the name or name another comparable room, facility, or building. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to withdraw the privilege of name association with Hagerstown Community College, if, in its opinion, particular acts and circumstances warrant. Any legal impropriety or other act which brings dishonor to the College on the part of the donor or a corporate donor, who is no longer in existence, shall make the gift and naming subject to reconsideration by Hagerstown Community College. The College President is given authority by the Board of Trustees to make final naming decisions for other College assets of lesser value than buildings, rooms, labs, offices, andathletic fields as mentioned above, such as instructional equipment, programs of study, special HCC
