Jun. 3 A building on the newest Fresno Unified School District campus will not be named after H. Roger Tatarian, at the request of his family, who said the icon of Fresno s Armenia community should have his name on a school and not a mere building.
Board members voted 6-1 at Wednesday night s regular meeting to remove the Armenian author, journalist, and Fresno State professor s name from the student services and programs building. Trustee Terry Slatic cast the no vote.
