President,Neil D. Humphrey Records -- Scope and Content  

Scope and Content Note

The archival material preserved herein includes memoranda generated by President Humphrey. Also included are biographical data, strategic plans, and other items of interest pertaining to Neil Humphrey's time at YSU. At present, the collection is small; however, as related materials come to light, it is expected that it will grow. In the meantime, files that may prove of particular interest include:

  • The Faculty Strike of 1989 (File 10) in which the YSU chapter of the Ohio Education Association, representing the faculty, went out to the picket line when negotiations with the university administration failed to produce a new contract. Even though the strike lasted for one day, an agreement was produced and a precedent set for future industrial action on campus.

  • The "Blue Sheets" (File 2), which President Humphrey used to disseminate information to the university community regarding the decisions and actions of the YSU Board of Trustees.

  • "Strategic Plans" (Files 11 and 12), which reveal the Humphrey Administration's views of the future at YSU.
