The General Files for 1970-1978 include Availability Assessments, Compliance Program Reports, Goals and Timetables, and correspondence with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). Availability Assessments were projections of retirements, resignations, and new positions, and the pool of women and minorities available to fill these positions. These projections were used to set goals and the timetables for achieving them. Compliance Program Reports were compiled by the Affirmative Action Office from data gathered from all of the schools and departments.
Other significant files relate to the Hayes Study. Robert H. Hayes and Associates, an outside consulting firm, was hired to provide the university with improved systems for merit review, merit promotion and transfer, and to develop a comprehensive personnel compensation policy to cover professional and administrative employees. The Management Advisory Group made recommendations to the executive officers on professional and administrative plan implementation.
