Summary:
This series consists of reports, pamphlets, proposals, memoranda, and agendas and minutes of meetings relating to colleges, departments, and other administrative and academic units at NU. There is also some correspondence between JAC and college/department members and individuals outside the NU community. JAC's efforts to improve NU's academic standing are documented in the reports, surveys, and promotional materials produced by the Office of Enrollment Management, the Department of Undergraduate Admissions, and the materials created by the Department of English for its proposal to develop a Ph.D. program. Correspondence, memoranda, reports analyzing data on students, and a few press clippings from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Business Administration also document JAC's concerns with enrollment. The Office of Government Relations and Community Affairs records include primarily requests for funding academic research, buildings, and students at NU as well as letters to government officials lobbying in support of education-related issues. Most significant was a $15 million federal grant in 1993 to build the Egan Engineering/Science Research Center.
