NTID Community:

As you may know, there have been a considerable number of concerns expressed by members of the RIT/NTID community about the name of the Alexander G. Bell Hall and commemorative plaque honoring Bell posted in the foyer of the building. It is argued by many that a number of attitudes, opinions, and actions that Alexander G. Bell promoted during his lifetime are not supportive of the diversity of people who are deaf, and therefore do not represent NTID.

Apparently when they constructed NTID, they felt that naming a hall after AGB was of importance in deaf education.

Why not track down those people that made the decision to inquire about naming the hall for AGB?
