UND is looking to give the High Performance Center a new name. The university wants to honor the most decorated student-athlete in football and track – Frederick Douglas “Fritz” Pollard Jr.
The North Dakota Higher Education Budget and Finance Committee reviewed the request on Tuesday. Pollard Jr. was one of the first two black graduates of UND in 1939. He was a charter inductee to the UND Athletic Hall of fame in 1975. Pollard Jr. retired in 1981 as the director of the United States Department of State Office of Overseas Schools. He died in 2003 at the age of 87.
The request will be considered by the full board at a meeting on February 25th.
