Presidential Advisory Committee on Principles to Guide Recognition and Commemoration
Overview
The Presidential Advisory Committee on Principles to Guide Recognition and Commemoration will be responsible for articulating principles to inform decisions on commemoration and naming, including the conditions under which the names of historical figures ought to be no longer associated with the University’s buildings, programs, or other elements of the physical and academic landscape.
Once these general principles have been articulated, they can be employed to guide decisions about individual namings, de-namings or re-namings. To inform its work, the Advisory Committee will consult broadly across the University of Toronto to seek input and advice from our community.
