# 2024 Clear His Name
Question
Someone donated a large sum to an institution and was therefore granted that his name should be given to it. Years later, the donor decided that he does not want the institution to carry his name anymore and it should be removed. Is he entitled to his request and the institution has to remove his name?
Answer
Horav Shlomo Miller’s Shlit’a opinion is that he should be entitled to his request of name removal. The reason being, since after all he donated the funds and he certainly had in mind that the donation should not be detrimental to him.
