RIT Long Range Planning Committee records 1941-1980

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/758384788

Records of the Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) Long Range Planning Committee. Although the committee did exist prior to Dr. Paul A. Miller's term as university president, Miller asked the group to publish a series of long range planning reports during the 1970s. The collection includes correspondence, financial records, administrative documents, annual reports, and other research materials, as well as copies of the final reports. The RIT Long Range Planning Committee records consist of materials related to the group's activities during the 1960s and 1970s. A large part of the collection includes research complied by the committee in preparing reports on the Institute's future. For instance, there are estimated budget materials and other financial records; annual reports from the various colleges of the university; results from surveys conducted during the late 1960s and early 1970s; and committee proposals and meeting minutes. Final reports of the committee are also included in the collection such as "RIT in the 1970's: A Master Plan" (Report No. 5), published in 1972. The collection also includes correspondence related to the committee's research and projects.

When Dr. Paul A. Miller became president of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in 1969, the university was in a period of growth and transition. The school had just moved from downtown Rochester to the suburbs of Henrietta to accommodate an increasing number of programs and students. Seeing a need to provide direction for the university, Miller devised a "master plan" for RIT, which he presented to the RIT community. The five basic goals of the plan were: to maintain constant fiscal sol...

It is unclear when the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) first admitted minority students. However, it appears as though the first African American students entered the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (renamed RIT in 1944) during the early 1900s. For instance, in 1906 Fredericka Sprague, the granddaughter of Frederick Douglass, took classes at the Institute. There are several other instances of African American students attending the school during the early 20th century as well...
