The Administrative Files series (11 linear feet) encompasses records from the faculty and chair's and director's meetings, various committees including the executive committee, budget materials and correspondence largely from the dean of LSA. All of these records are filed under Dean's Files in previous accessions. Researchers should also note that folder headings do not remain consistent in all cases among the numerous accessions.

The 1942-1997 subseries of the Administrative files series is comprised of curriculum meeting minutes, planning materials, and other administrative records. While the records date from 1942-1997, the bulk of the material is from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The subseries includes a long run of Curriculum Committee material (1948-1994). Reports and surveys prepared by the Planning Committee on the Undergraduate Experience include "A Michigan Education," "The Challenges of Undergraduate Education at the University of Michigan," a department by department survey, and responses to various reports. A file entitled "Memorials" holds profiles for deceased faculty dating from 1942 to 1966. In addition, there are several folders of Edie Goldenberg speeches, presentations, and faculty meeting remarks.
