On Monday, Oct. 3, Stony Brook President Maurie McInnis sent an email informing students that Sanger Residence Hall is being renamed to Dr. May Edward Chinn Hall.
Sanger Hall, a residential hall in Tabler Community, will receive a new name after nearly two years of public pressure. Sanger Hall is named after Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger, an activist for women’s rights and birth control.
Stony Brook University President Maurie McInnis confirmed the school’s commitment to renaming Sanger Hall in an Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Senate meeting on Nov. 11.
Judith Brown Clarke addressed senators’ concerns about renaming Sanger Hall, and presented her department’s diversity initiatives and progress at the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) senator meeting on Sept. 16.
