Committee files

Series consists of records relating to meetings and deliberations of departmental, faculty and university-wide committees in which the School participated.

Records include meeting agendas, minutes and supporting documents; correspondence; reports; policies and procedures; program and course proposals and revisions; and working papers.

Note that in the case of departmental committees, the files constitute the original, authoritative records of those committees. In the case of non-departmental committees (faculty and university), however, the School did not typically function as the official record-keeper or custodian of the committee's original records; accordingly, these files document the School's participation in the committees (correspondence and copies of committee records) rather than representing the authoritative record of those committees.

Note that in the case of departmental committees, the files constitute the original, authoritative records of those committees. In the case of non-departmental committees (faculty, university and external), however, the School did not typically function as the official record-keeper or custodian of the committee's original records. Accordingly, these files document the School's participation in the committees (correspondence and copies of committee records) rather than representing the authoritative record of those committees.
