Much of the original order for this collection has been retained. Series I covers general correspondence from the late 1980s to the 1990s. Series II documents the crafting of mission statements during the 1990s. Series III contains Daily files kept by Drs. Gills through Scanlon. Series IV deals with the development of various degree programs during the late 1960s to early 1970s. Series V details the various academic areas for which the Office of the Provost has been responsible, including the Academic Senate, Deans Council, STARS, and Public Service Institute.
