[[UCI School of Biological Sciences]] → {{no redirect|UC Irvine Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences}} – The school was officially renamed in 2024 following a $50 million gift from alumnus Charlie Dunlop. The new title better reflects the official and current name used in reliable sources such as UCI News and university publications.

:I wonder if [[Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences]] might not be a more suitable title. Of the named top-level schools of UCI, two are named and not prefixed with UCI in their article titles, while [[UC Irvine Samueli School of Engineering]] is. (If this page moves, I’d consider having that one moved to [[Henry Samueli School of Engineering]], and not necessarily at a full RM.) I ”’support”’ a move as, in my experience at another institution, changes like this are immediate and reflected not just in university usage but in reliable sources when they mention the school.

::I agree that [[Charlie Dunlop School of Biological Sciences]] is the more appropriate and consistent title. The naming convention aligns well with how other named UCI schools are handled, and your reasoning about how institutions and reliable sources adopt new names makes sense to me. I’m fully supportive of moving the page under that title. [[User:Ethan BioSci|Ethan BioSci]] ([[User talk:Ethan BioSci|talk]]) 16:06, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
