In California, a number of streets and buildings were named for Father [[Junipero Serra|Junípero Serra]] who established a string of missions along the California coast. Activists are demanding name changes in light of his mistreatment of the indigenous population. In 2019 [[Stanford University]]’s Serra House where the [[Clayman Institute for Gender Research]] is located was renamed the [[Carolyn Attneave|Carolyn Lewis Attneave House]].<ref name=mercury>{{cite news|first=Jason |last=Green |url=https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/03/01/stanford-renames-buildings-for-sally-ride-carolyn-attneave/amp/ |title=Stanford renames buildings for Sally Ride, Carolyn Attneave |work=Mercurynews.com |date=2019 |accessdate=2020-09-10}}</ref> That same year, [[Stanford University]]’s other Serra House located in Lucie Stern Hall was renamed the [[Sally Ride]] House.<ref name=mercury/> It was formerly named after Serra.<ref name=mercury/>

David Starr Jordan was a [[University of Indiana]] professor of zoology from 1875 to 1885 and then served as UI's seventh President from 1885 to 1891. He then left to be founding president of [[Stanford University]]. Jordan Hall, Jordan River, Jordan Avenue and the Jordan Parking Garage were all named in his honor. On July 2, 2020, a UI committee was appointed to consider renaming these because some people disagree with certain statements and views that Jordan held.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.iu.edu/stories/2020/07/iub/releases/02-jordan-review-committee-appointed.htm|title=Committee appointed to review Jordan namings on IU Bloomington campus|date=July 2, 2020|accessdate=2020-09-10}}</ref>
