Board concurs in naming performing arts center for Sen. Arthur Orr; Orr abstains from vote
Summary
The Board concurred with the Alabama Community College System to name the Alabama Center for the Arts Performing Arts Center the Arthur Orr Performing Arts Center; Senator Arthur Orr relinquished the chair and is recorded as abstaining on the roll-call for the item.
The Athens State University Board of Trustees concurred with the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) to name the Alabama Center for the Arts Performing Arts Center the Arthur Orr Performing Arts Center.
Because the facility is jointly operated with ACCS, the Board's action aligns university record with ACCS. Senator Arthur Orr relinquished the chair for the agenda item; roll-call for the naming shows the majority of trustees voting YES and Senator Orr recorded as abstaining. Meeting minutes reflect that the naming honors Senator Orr "for his longstanding leadership and support of arts education and the Alabama Center for the Arts."
Note: the meeting record contains an inconsistency. An earlier roll-call entry lists Mac McCutcheon as absent, but the roll-call for this naming item includes an entry showing "Mac McCutcheon - YES." The minutes record the Board's concurrence and the abstention by Senator Orr; the Board did not take further action at this meeting on the facility beyond recording the naming.
