The Student Discipline Committees series, 1914, 1922-1961 (4.5 linear feet) consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, hearing records, and reports pertaining to the formation of non-academic student policy and enforcement. Most of these records are bound and arranged chronologically. The records are produced by the Committee and Subcommittee on Student Discipline, the Committee on Student Conduct, and the Joint Judiciary Council. A large portion of these records include details of individual student cases, and are therefore subject to student educational records restrictions. Of particular interest are the records that show how the university exercised its judicial authority (records from the 1920s and 30s are unrestricted given the expiration of the student records restriction), and the volume labeled "University Committee on Student Conduct," which contains higher level policy documents from the Committee on Student Discipline and the Committee on Student Conduct. Researchers should note that differentiating between records created by the different committees can be confusing, due to similar names and overlapping functions of committees. Also note that bound records are titled with the name of a single committee, but could include records from several.
