Policy Statement

Be it resolved by the Board of Trustees of The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill:

Section 1: Eligibility

To be eligible to be memorialized by a tablet, the subject:

  2. Shall have been dead not less than one year at the time the decision as to whether to authorize the tablet is made by the Board of Trustees.

Section 2: Review

The review of the names of persons proposed to be memorialized by a tablet shall proceed as follows:

  1. Anyone may propose the name of a person (“subject”) for memorialization by a tablet.
  2. The name of each subject proposed shall first be submitted to the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Naming University Facilities and Units (hereinafter referred to as “the Naming Committee”) for its advice to the Chancellor the name of each subject it finds worthy of further consideration.
  3. The Naming Committee, after consulting appropriate authorities, shall advise the Chancellor whether it deems the subject to be worthy of commemoration by a tablet, and if so, it shall provide a suggested text for the tablet.
  4. The Chancellor, after receiving the advice of the Naming Committee, shall recommend to the Board of Trustees each subject he deems worthy of commemoration by a tablet.
  5. The Board of Trustees shall finally approve or disapprove the proposed memorialization of each subject by a tablet in Memorial Hall.
