Governance Committees, 1946-2005
The Governance Committees series (9 linear feet) documents the decision making bodies of ISR, including the Administrative, Executive, and Policy Committees. Core documentation in these files provides an overview of broad issues of concern before ISR, such as relations between ISR and university departments, methods of conveying the value of social science research, as well as other more focused subjects such as key personnel changes and promotion policies.
Administrative Committee, 1950-1992
The Administrative Committee records date from 1949 to 1992 and consist of agendas, minutes and proceedings, and notes and indexes for scattered years. The agendas and minutes are arranged in a separate chronological series. The agendas for the Administrative Committee meetings include attachments such as project proposals, promotion review material, and memos regarding topics to be discussed at meetings. Issues and actions taken by the Administrative Committee concern the administration of ISR, such as physical space, budget and overhead, project proposals, salaries and promotions, and security and safety. Some of the minutes for the years 1959 to 1968 include agendas for the next meetings. There are gaps in the minutes, especially for the years 1963 through 1966.
