This campus-wide group is a successor to the Chancellor's Commission on Women's Affairs. The commission's records contain minutes, committee files, reports, publications, budgetary materials, photographs, and newspaper clippings. Issues addressed in the files include athletics, violence, minority relations, and the treatment of women faculty and undergraduates. The commission's records are unprocessed, however a preliminary inventory is available.
The Office of Legal Affairs, also known as the President's Legal Office, was established in 1972 as part of the Office of the President and provides "assistance in all fields of law encountered in the academic and business life of the University." Most files are restricted to the staff of that office. Preliminary inventories are available upon request.
