  I'm not sure about UAF, but traditionally, in most states, publicly owned buildings and institutions have not been named after living people or active corporations; there was a practical reason for this (made obvious by this case).  Now days though, donors want recognition for their tax deductible contributions so our politicians now allow, in many cases, public property to be named after living people and active private corporations.  Charity has become publicity in our modern world.
