School of Criminal Justice records, 1963-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122411878

The files of the School of Criminal Justice consist primarily of records kept by Deans Richard Myren 1966-1976, and Donald Newman, 1977-84. They document the organization and formation of the School, particularly during the critical years of development (1963-1969). Topics covered in the correspondence, faculty meeting minutes, Dean's Reports and planning documents primarily involve curriculum development and faculty recruitment. The correspondence demonstrates the involvement of Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller and the legal community in the formation of the School. The later documents reflect the day to day operations of the School of Criminal Justice, and the eventual absorption of the School into the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy. This is evidenced through the daily correspondence, student handbooks, and school publications. Also included are the records of the Schools' Center on Minorities and Criminal Justice, which was established in 1980 and directed by Scott Christiansen.
