Scope and Content Note
The materials in this record group were created by the Youngstown State University
Academic Senate and its committees. The materials came into the Youngstown State
University Archives and Special Collections in two different accessions. The first
accession, covering 1959-1998, came from the Circulation department of the library. The
second accession, encompassing the years 1966-1998, were transferred from Dr. Nathan
Ritchey, Provost’s Office, and Dr. Sunil Ahuja, Political Science. The second accession
was stored on the third floor of Tod Hall, before being transferred to Archives. A
majority of the materials are from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s; the materials are
sparse in the late 1990s to the present, possibly due to the fact that they were made
available exclusively online.
The materials are in original order, dated chronologically. Series I is the Academic
Senate Minutes dating from 1959-2000. Much of the Senate Minutes are complete;
however the Committee Minutes 1937-2003 (Series II) are more sporadic, with some
dates missing and gaps existing between dates. Some committees started off as one
committee but branched off into two for example, the Standards and Events, Honors and
1 “Academic Senate Charter.”Online Posting. Academic Senate Youngstown State University Academic

Individual Curriculum Program, and Program and Curriculum Committees. Standards
and Events are filed together, Honors and ICP are together until ICP branched off, and
Program and Curriculum are together until the Curriculum Division branched off. Series
III involves correspondence in the Academic Senate, with much of the material from the
1970s and 1980s. Series IV contains the various lists of Academic Senate Members and
Committee Appointments throughout the years, some undated. Series V is the Subject
File which contains various reports, tally sheets, papers, Ohio Board of Regents papers
and pending information, 1970-1991. The last of the series, Series VI, contains audio
cassette tapes of various Senate Meetings 1974-1983.
