=== Renaming historic halls ===
In 2020, JMU's Board of Visitors approved the renaming of three historic buildings on the quad that were named in honor of three prominent Virginian Confederate soldiers: Ashby Hall (named after [[Turner Ashby]]), Maury Hall (named after [[Matthew Fontaine Maury]]), and Jackson Hall (named after [[Stonewall Jackson]]). They were given the temporary names of Valley Hall, Mountain Hall, and Justice Studies Hall, respectively.<ref>{{Cite web|last=News-Record|first=MEGAN WILLIAMS Daily|title=JMU Votes To Rename Three Buildings|url=https://www.dnronline.com/news/harrisonburg/jmu-votes-to-rename-three-buildings/article_26040fdd-108b-5b98-918d-ae2a790a6607.html|access-date=December 13, 2021|website=Daily News-Record|date=July 7, 2020|language=en|archive-date=July 15, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200715032228/https://www.dnronline.com/news/harrisonburg/jmu-votes-to-rename-three-buildings/article_26040fdd-108b-5b98-918d-ae2a790a6607.html|url-status=live}}</ref> In 2021, the halls were approved and given new names.
