Administrative policy records, 1974-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/39964745

Series P13 of the Archives Presidential Collection contains the administrative records of Robert Q. Marston, seventh president of the University of Florida. The series emphasizes the public and external aspects of university administration. Included are records of national and regional academic organizations and records related to alumni and donor relations. Marston's relationship with the local community and city government are also well documented. As in other presidential papers, the university's relationship with the Florida Board of Regents and other universities in the State University System constitutes a major portion of the series. Proposed state legislation involving the university and higher education is also critiqued. Internal administration topics include affirmative action efforts, expansion of sponsored research, and building construction. Changes in faculty and students affairs are also indicated. The university grappled with a new age of majority, an independent student newspaper, and sexual misconduct at a social fraternity. Faculty achieved collective bargaining rights and the university dealt with issues concerning salary equity for women instructors. The energy crisis of the 1970s was also a major concern.
