Historical Note

Prior to Mesa College becoming a four-year baccalaureate institution the faculty representation was limited to a small faculty council that did not represent all academic fields offered on campus. In 1977-1978 President Tomlinson oversaw the establishment of the first faculty senate to enable a greater degree of faculty involvement in the administration of the institution and help Mesa College resemble other baccalaureate-granting institutions. Dr. Thomas Graves served as the first president of the newly established Mesa College Faculty Senate.

Additional Description

Summary

Minutes, agendas, reports, and other records produced by the Colorado Mesa University Faculty Senate and previous iterations of the faculty governing board along with its affiliated committees.

Arrangement

The collection will be arranged chronologically. The records of the curriculum committees will be separated into their own series and then arranged chronologically.

Immediate Source of Acquisition

Records have been transferred by the Faculty Senate and by the Office of Academic Affairs.

Separated Materials

Program reviews have been separated from the Faculty Senate records and added to the Academic Affairs records because current program reviews are transferred from the Office of Academic Affairs rather than the Faculty Senate.
