The records of the Medical School Executive Committee (69.5 linear feet and 10.4 MB) include a run of that body's minutes, from its founding in 1930 through 2003. The records also include two small files relating to appointments and promotions and committee retreats. The primary record of the school's governing body, the minutes provide documentation of a wide array of policies, programs and issues.

As the School's presumptive court of last appeal, the Medical School Executive Committee routinely decided whether students should be dismissed from the school, or allowed re-admittance after a dismissal. Moreover, it heard students' appeals of these decisions. Similarly, it had final say over faculty appointments, promotion, and tenure decisions, and also heard departmental chair appeals of negative decisions on any of these matters. Because all of the above issues were carefully documented with significant amounts of personal information, the Medical School Executive Committee records are under extended restrictions.

Records dated 1997 to 2003 contain other related documents regarding student issues, school issues, and faculty appointments. These records contain two groups of minutes that were added with the corresponding accession, digital office documents and paper copies. Both minutes cover the same meetings and have some overlap, but ultimately have some small discrepancies. The paper copies added in this accession specifically also includes correspondence regarding meeting topics, as well as the CVs of potential new faculty members or current faculty promotions.
