In October 2020, the Indiana University Board of Trustees voted overwhelmingly to remove Jordan's name from a science building, a parking garage, and a "river" (actually a small creek) that runs through the center of the campus. Jordan's name was stripped from these places immediately after the trustee meeting had concluded and were replaced with temporary names that would be used until permanent names are selected sometime during the following year. Jordan Hall, the Jordan River and the Jordan Avenue Parking Garage are now respectively the Biology Building, the Campus River, and the East Parking Garage.
