Boathouse name

[Hilltopper2000]

Does anyone know if the future boathouse has a name yet? A few years back the university said it recieved a $3 million naming gift, but it seems that is no longer the case. What gives?

I assume he withdrew part of his gift (or allocated it elsewhere) since the total giving to the project has managed to decline by $300,000 in the last two years.

There was a controversy last year regarding a small group of alumni (apparently including this donor)who wanted to remove the head coach. The whole thing crashed and burned when the athletic department and most other alumni resisted this move. The donor removed a substantial part of his donation.

The major hangup is not the money. That will come. Right now, it's the environmental impact report (due to be finished in the summer, I think), and the resolution of some lawsuits against the university and National Park Service for some of the issues surrounding the boathouse (brought not by the neighborhood this time, but by the Washington Canoe Club-- the second boathouse to the left of Key Bridge when approaching GU [not the one with the red flag]). These should be resolved as well, but perhaps not for a while. Again, the question is not if it will be built, but when.
