For the first time in its history, UT has named a college
in recognition of an alumnus and donor. The Haslam family, of Knoxville, announced on
Friday a landmark gift of $50 million to our business college. The gift was made in honor of
the family’s patriarch, James A. Haslam II. The UT Board of Trustees then voted to
name the college the James A. Haslam II College of Business. The college will no longer use
“Administration” as part of its name.
