Representative suggests naming IU Indianapolis athletics center for James T. Morris; university contact to relay request
Summary
Rep. Gregory Porter recommended the Board of Trustees consider naming the IU Indianapolis athletics facility after James T. Morris. A university representative said he would carry the recommendation to the Board.
During the committee’s university projects discussion, Representative Gregory Porter recommended that the Indiana University Board of Trustees consider naming the new Indianapolis athletics facility for James T. Morris in recognition of his contributions to the Indianapolis community.
A Mr. Morrison responded that he would carry Porter’s recommendation back to the Board of Trustees. Chairman Jeff Thompson said he also supported the suggestion. The exchange was recorded as a recommendation during the committee’s review of university capital projects; the minutes do not record a Board decision or an official naming action.
The athletics facility proposal itself remains part of the university’s authorization requests to the committee; any naming decision would proceed through the university’s Board of Trustees and is not a committee action recorded in these minutes.
