Weaver-Densford Hall up for potential name revocation
by Kyra Deters and Roman Ingrassia | Campus | Published June 25, 2026
Warning: This story contains discussions of relationship violence and murder.
Over 20 years after her murder at the hands of Gordon Weaver, son of former University of Minnesota Dean Lawrence C. Weaver, Jean Kilduff’s family and many campus community members are now petitioning for the Board of Regents to revoke the “Weaver” name from Weaver-Densford Hall.
Weaver-Densford Hall was named in October 1996 to honor both Lawrence Weaver, the former dean of the College of Pharmacy, and Katharine J. Densford, the former director of the School of Nursing and a medical field pioneer. The hall is a part of a greater network of health sciences buildings on campus and houses both the University’s School of Nursing and the College of Pharmacy.
