The Affirmative Action records (17 linear feet) date from 1964 to 2001, and document the university's effort to comply with state and federal laws concerning both racial and sexual harassment, fair and equal employment opportunities, and handicap issues. These records are divided into five series: Topical Files; Federal Agencies and Regulations; Minorities; State of Michigan; Women; and Disabilities.

The Affirmative Action Office subgroup is divided into five principle series: General Files, 1969-1993; Affirmative Action Coordinators; Audio-Visual Materials; Reports; and Title IX. Materials belonging to each of these series, and the General Files in particular, may have been received in more than one of the accessions and there may be overlaps in the date spans among the accessions.
