The records of the Educational Policy Committee/University Committee on Academic Policy include official indexed minutes kept by the Office of the Provost and supplemented by records kept by various committee members, especially Charles St. Clair. Committee minutes date from 1960. Reports and other back-up documents cover the years 1960 to 1974. The records reflect the wide range of important University academic policies considered by this committee. The records provide good documentation of the development of significant reports and programs including the Student Instructional Rating System (SIRS), summer term, Faculty Awards policies, the first Committee on Undergraduate Education (CUE), and the 1965 Academic Freedom Report. UCAP was also instrumental in the development of semi-autonomous colleges such as James Madison and Lyman Briggs; records documenting the origins of these programs are included in this collection.
