Scope and Contents

From the Record Group:

The collection spans from 1930 to 1981, with the majority of the documents dated between 1950 and 1981. As a result of its placement in the University bureaucracy and the span of years covered, this collection contains much information dealing with the concerns facing the University through time. Perhaps the most noteworthy contained herein revolves around the issue of reorganization and the collection of the by-laws of the various colleges comprising Michigan State University. Equally important, however, is the material pertaining to the censure of Trustee Members Bob Repos and Clair White. Included in this is the controversial booklet (See Academic Subject. Salaries), and the issue of Academic Freedom.

The collection is divided into three main topic areas: academic subject, committee, and personnel. Each of these is further subdivided into smaller groupings of topics and, if necessary, by years within these topics. With one small exception, the collection is filed alphabetically by topic, and then chronologically. The only exception to this pattern is found in Box 595, files 9, 10, 11, and 12, which pertain to the President of the University. These files are arranged chronologically by tenure.

In 2012, some additional materials were added as a separate series.
