Overview

Faculty fall under the administration of the Provost, and a faculty sub-group was necessary because the collection is very large. The Provost manages the business of the faculty, oversees curriculum, and is responsible for faculty evaluations. This Sub-Group includes the following series: Series 1 (Faculty Association), Series 2 (Faculty Senate), Series 3 (APSCUF), Series 4 (CFEST), Series 5 (Associations), Series 6 (Faculty-Course Evaluations), Series 7 (Meetings), Series 8 (Distinguished Faculty Awards), Series 9 (Committees), Series 10 (Faculty Record Cards), Series 11 (General Business), Series 12 (Student Evaluations), Series 13 (Publications), and Series 14 (Phi Delta Kappa). There are some restrictions in this Sub-Group and are noted at the file level. Series 1, Series 2, and Series 9 all contain committee information. It is not always clear what body created a committee; some committee folders may be placed in the wrong series but can still be found by the name of the committee.
