The Advisory Board On University Policies series, covering the period 1941-1944, is composed of the extensive minutes and reports generated during Tibbitts tenure as secretary. The five-member board was established in 1940 to investigate and report on any issues influencing "the functioning, the efficiency, and the objectives," of the University.

The Clark Tibbitts Papers, 1926-1969, are arranged into four principal series corresponding to the major activities of Tibbitts's career in the fields of sociology and gerontology. There are also eight smaller series (plus an addition to a series) received subsequent to the accessioning of the bulk of the papers.
The Studies/Reports subseries includes correspondence, memoranda, data tables, and position statements resulting from board investigations. Topics covered include faculty ranking and related issues of income, promotion, and tenure in the Colleges of Engineering and Literature, Science, and the Arts; Extramural Services, including correspondence and extension service courses, with particular concern for demobilized servicemen after World War II; International Exchange of students and faculty, including reports on programs, sources of funding, and the International Center; Services to Veterans documents planning for the reintegration of veterans into University life.
