David Starr Jordan was a [[Indiana University]] professor of zoology from 1875 to 1885 and then served as IU'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, an IU 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>

[[Millard Fillmore]] was not only thirteenth President of the United States. he was also comptroller of New York, a member of the United States House of Representatives, vice president of the United States, and founder and first Chancellor of the State University of New York at Buffalo. He was not a slaveholder. SUNY Buffalo is in the process of renaming the Millard Fillmore Academic Center, because Fillmore signed the Fugitive Slave Act while President.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://legalinsurrection.com/2020/08/university-at-buffalo-removing-president-millard-fillmores-name-from-campus/#more|title=University at Buffalo Removing President Millard Fillmore’s Name From Campus|date=August 5, 2020|accessdate=2020-10-01}}</ref>
