The records of Richard A. English (7 linear ft.) consist of one series: Topical Files, 1972-1979. English served as associate vice president for academic affairs from 1974 until 1981, when he resigned to return to his academic position in the School of Social Work. English's responsibilities for coordination of the academic service units and minority student support services are well documented, as is his involvement with the Graduate Employees Organization (GEO) and the Netherlands Visiting Professorship. In addition, there are a number of folders regarding the Evaluation and Planning Project, undertaken from 1975 to 1977. The purpose of the project was to promote units' systematic planning of program changes, enrollment, and affirmative action.
