This collection contains materials relating to the drafting of Chapters VI-XII of the "Statues, Rules, and Regulations of the University," 1971-1972. Also included is correspondence relating to this project which Waite headed.

In addition, the collection includes reports, outlines, memorandums and correspondence regarding a study of the Art department done in 1968-1969 while Waite was assistant dean in the College of Arts and Letters. Studies of academic departments were an objective of Michigan State University's Educational Development Program which was initiated in 1963 to "reshape the university."
