North Carolina State University, Committees, University Government Committee records, 1945-1985 (bulk 1954-1972) [manuscript]

The University Government Committee Records include memos, reports, drafts and letters documenting the work of the Committee. The most prominent aspect of that work was the establishment of the Faculty Senate and the refinement of mechanisms for faculty representation in University academic administration during the years 1952-1974. There is also a single folder of materials relating to an earlier iteration of the Committee and its 1946 report and a folder of documents from the mid-1980s regarding faculty status of librarians. Aside from this latter folder, the records do not document the Committee's activities after 1974, although the University Government Committee appears to have remained in existence up to 2006, when it was disbanded and its duties assigned to the Executive Committee of the Faculty Senate.
