Summary:
Subseries A. Subject Files consist of 10 sub-groups organized either by time period or creator. For the first 6 groups (Section 1: 1979-1986; Section 2: 1985-1993; Section 3: Daryl Hellman, Colleges and Departments 1988-1992; Section 4: Daryl Hellman, Colleges and Departments 1992-1993; Section 5: Daryl Hellman, Colleges and Departments 1993-1994; and Section 6: Daryl Hellman, Subjects), the original order of the documents has been preserved. Faculty Affairs materials from David Hall's tenure (1998-2000), Patricia Meservey's tenure (1998-2004), and Ahmed Abdelal's tenure (2002-2008) are included after Hellman's files. They are organized under each respective creator and then alphabetically. Due to the nature of the documents, the dates in the date column may be referring to a fiscal year, academic year, or calendar year depending on the documents themselves.
Subseries A also includes records relating to the administration of faculty matters, including leaves of absence, sabbaticals, evaluation and merit policies, and dean and chair searches. Programs such as the Instructional Development Fund, the Excellence in Teaching Awards, Distinguished Professor Awards, Faculty Development Fund, and Minority Faculty Development Fund are also documented here. Hellman's files also contain documentation of the minority recruitment and retention efforts of the late 1980s and 1990s. In addition to faculty related records, Patricia Meservey's files include non-faculty budgetary, enrollment, and subject files.
Subseries B: Grievances include correspondence, memoranda, and minutes contained in this subseries that record individual faculty grievance cases. These files are restricted for 75 years from the date of creation.
Subseries C: Tenure records include the correspondence and minutes of the Tenure and Promotions Committee and the Board of Trustees Committee on Academic Affairs. Evaluations and tenure dossiers are also included here. These records are restricted for 75 years from the date of creation.
