The Administrative Files series consists of two sub-series, 1980-1993 and 1993-1996 (both of which include earlier background materials), and each is further divided into "General Files" and "Issue Files." In both sub-series, the General Files deal with the administration of the council and include miscellaneous correspondence and papers relating to member and non-member organizations as well as government bodies. The 1993-1996 General Files also contains annual reports, recruiting practices, strategic planning, and material related to various MEC programs and wider initiatives (such as the Michigan Integrated Food and Farming Systems group and Urban Core Mayors coalition). Likewise, the Issue Files in each sub-series contain background information (clippings, state government documents, publications, etc.), correspondence, testimony, and other content relating to issues addressed by the council and, to a lesser extent, its individual members.

Administrative Files (0.5 linear feet) (1988-2000) contain scattered annual reports and executive summaries, articles on UMCCC, brochures and pamphlets, news releases, and writings on the early history of the center.

Administrative Files and Promotional Materials (1 linear foot) contains information related to Pollack Design Associates and promotional materials for various projects.

Administrative Material series documents Casa de Unidad's history, organizational structure, expenses and contributions. The series contains written accounts of the organization's history, its mission statement, and its by-laws and constitution. The series also contains the organization's financial statements and budgets, board minutes, grant proposals and reports, as well as multiple volumes from Casa de Unidad's bilingual newsletter "El Barrio."

The Administrative Materials series contains documentation on policies and future plans for the department, such as the 5-Year Plan and information for renovating the department's facilities. It also contains correspondence primarily regarding the Department of Biology's split and the Department of EEB's development, including correspondence to the Dean of the College of L. S. and A. Shirley Newman. Additional materials include decisions on programs and classes offered by the department and the requirements students must meet to receive their degree, copies of meeting minutes for the Executive Committee from 2001-2008, and a list of faculty members for the department and its partner departments, as well as minutes from faculty meetings.
