At its meeting of February 26, 2001, the Academic Senate passed the following Policy Recommendation presented by Mary Jo Gorney-Moreno for the Executive Committee.

Policy Recommendation

Naming of the Koret Athletic Training Center

Whereas: Procedures and requirements for naming a University facility, as stated in University Policy S00-3 have been duly followed; and

Whereas: The Koret Foundation was created by Joseph and Stephanie Koret, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, whose entrepreneurial vision and work ethic provided the resources that have endowed the Foundation’s capabilities. The Koret Foundation’s grant-making philosophy is based on philanthropic values focused on helping and educating people to care for themselves; and

Whereas: The Koret Foundation fulfills its mission to the communities it serves by enhancing the quality of life and enriching the human spirit. Koret seeks to promote economic freedom, opportunity, leadership and education through the organizations it supports; and

Whereas: The Academic Senate of San José State University deeply appreciates the generosity exhibited by the Koret Foundation for their gift to San José State University; and

Whereas: The gift will make possible the creation of a privately funded Athletic Training Center at San José State University, funded entirely through the generosity of a number of individual gifts in addition to the Koret gift; and

Whereas: The San José State University Athletic program as well as the campus as a whole will benefit from their gift; now therefore, be it

Resolved: That the Academic Senate of San José State University express its gratitude to the Koret Foundation for giving the University this valuable resource for its current and future students; and be it also

Resolved: That the Academic Senate of San José State University endorse the recommendation of the Executive Committee to honor the Koret Foundation by naming the new training center, the “Koret Athletic Training Center.”
