The University Council was originally created to replace the Senate Council in 1931. Membership consisted of the President of the University, members selected by the President, and representatives elected by the different schools and colleges of the University. The Council was concerned with academic policies affecting the University as a whole, or policy questions which concerned two or more schools or colleges. In 1948 The Council was disbanded and most of its functions were taken over by a reconstituted and much more powerful Senate Advisory Committee on Academic Affairs (SACUA). The record group consists of minutes of meetings, 1931-1947 (3 v.); accompanying documents, 1931-1945 (13 v.); committee reports, scattered correspondence, topical files, and material on reconstituted University Council, 1970-1987.
